Reference

List issuing entities

Returns the full list of government entities (ministerios, superintendencias, congresses, secretarías) that issue regulations. Primary use: discover entity_id values to pass to list_regulations. country_code is comma-separated (e.g. BR,CO); omit for all accessible countries. Use q to search by entity name — a case-insensitive substring (e.g. q=Hacienda), the agency's acronym (e.g. q=ANEEL, q=INVIMA), which is usually how a question names it, or every word of a name written from memory (q=Superintendencia de Transporte finds Superintendencia de Puertos y Transporte).

Data sources: reference catalogs derived from the official registries behind each domain — issuing entities from gazette attributions, commissions and parties from the congress rosters. These are internal lookup values (entity_id, commission_id, etc.), not citable documents themselves — cite the regulation/bill/actor record that uses them instead.

Response

Successful response (real sample data)

dapper_urlstring nullable

This record's page in the Dapper platform (dapperglobal.com) — hand this to a person who wants the full detail. Use it as given; the routes are not derivable from the payload. null means the record has no page (see the field's per-domain notes), not that the link is missing. Distinct from external_link/congress_records[].link, which point at the original official document.
