1. Restriction by word or theme

2. Restriction by location

3. Restriction by paper type

4. Other search restrictions

5. Find a document using its ID

‎‎ ‎

1 - Restriction by word or theme

  Example: title=macron will find all documents with "macron" in the title.

• all_keywords: keywords and slugs associated with the document. These keywords are displayed in the document viewer panel. This search requires a strict and complete value.
  Example: all_keywords=transport will find documents whose keywords contain "transport"

• mediatopic: IPTC numerical code associated with the document.
  👉 Complete list of IPTC codes: https://www.iptc.org/std/NewsCodes/treeview/mediatopic/mediatopic-en-GB.html.
