Amsterdam Stadsarchief — Memorix Person Index API

Step 2: Parse results
Response JSON has person array. Each person:
{
"id": "uuid",
"deed_id": "uuid",
"register_id": "uuid",
"metadata": {
"voornaam": "Jan",
"geslachtsnaam": "Lebbing",
"tussenvoegsel": "",
"datum": "1870-01-01",
"type_title": "Geregistreerde",
"deed_type_title": "Registratie",
"register_type_title": "Bevolkingsregister 1874-1893",
"diversen": "<html with archive URL>",
"plaats": "Amsterdam"
}
}
Step 3: Get scans
For most records, fetch the deed:
curl -s "https://webservices.memorix.nl/genealogy/deed/DEED_UUID?apiKey=eb37e65a-eb47-11e9-b95c-60f81db16c0e"
Scan URLs in asset[].thumb.large:
https://images.memorix.nl/ams/thumb/640x480/<uuid>.jpg
Full size: asset[].download:
https://images.memorix.nl/ams/download/fullsize/<uuid>.jpg
For Archiefkaarten, scans are at register level — use register_id instead.
