Integration

API Integration
This is where you call Find-A-Record’s APIs and display the information in your own application. You will need to get an API key from Find-A-Record, and then you can call any of the APIs documented here.
Web Integration
This is where you forward your user over to the search page at findarecord.com/search. You can prefill all of the parameters by setting the appropriate variables in the URL hash.
