}About the svenskfilmdatabas.se API
This API exposes 2 endpoints covering Swedish films currently in production from Svensk Filmdatabas (the Swedish Film Database). The list_films_in_production endpoint returns paginated film summaries with filtering by type and country, while get_film_details returns structured production facts including cast, director, producer, screenplay, category, and year for a specific film identified by its numeric ID.
Listing Films in Production
The list_films_in_production endpoint returns up to 15 film summaries per page. Each item includes id, title, title_extra, meta, film_type, and link. You can filter results using film_type (accepts Kortfilm or Långfilm) and country (accepts Swedish country names such as Sverige, Danmark, or Frankrike). The sort_by parameter controls ordering: chrono_desc, chrono_asc, alpha_asc, or alpha_desc. The response also includes total_count, items_per_page, available_countries, and available_film_types to help drive UI pagination and filter controls.
Getting Film Details
The get_film_details endpoint accepts a film_id string (numeric, sourced from items[*].id in the list response) and returns a full record for that title. Fixed fields include title, year, category, film_type, director, producer, and screenplay. The cast field is an array of objects each containing name and role. The all_facts object captures every key-value pair from the film's fact table, which may include fields beyond the named top-level properties depending on the record.
Coverage and Scope
Data reflects Swedish films currently registered as in-production at Svensk Filmdatabas — both feature films (Långfilm) and short films (Kortfilm). Country filter values correspond to co-production countries listed on the source. Not all films will have complete cast or crew data; some director, producer, or screenplay fields may be empty strings depending on how completely a given title has been catalogued.

Does Svensk Filmdatabas offer an official developer API?+
What does the `all_facts` field in `get_film_details` contain?+
director, producer, screenplay, year, category, film_type), but may also include additional production metadata depending on how completely a title has been catalogued in the database.Does the API cover films that have already been released, or only those currently in production?+
Can I filter by multiple countries or multiple film types at once?+
country takes a single country name and film_type takes either Kortfilm or Långfilm. Multi-value filtering is not supported in the current endpoints. You can fork this API on Parse and revise it to add multi-value filter logic.How complete is the cast data returned by `get_film_details`?+
cast array will contain objects with name and role for listed performers, but films early in production may have few or no cast members recorded. Fields like director and producer can also be empty strings for partially catalogued records.
