FBI Wanted API

The FBI Wanted API is designed to help developers easily get information on the FBI Wanted program.

The API is a simple REST endpoint that accepts query parameters for options and returns application/json responses.

Example Usage in Python

This python example uses the Requests library.

Simple example:

import requests
import json

response = requests.get('https://api.fbi.gov/wanted/v1/list')
data = json.loads(response.content)
print(data['total'])
print(data['items'][0]['title'])

Example providing search parameters:

import requests
import json

response = requests.get('https://api.fbi.gov/wanted/v1/list', params={
    'field_offices': 'miami'
})
data = json.loads(response.content)
print(data['total'])
print(data['items'][0]['title'])

Example with paging:

import requests
import json

response = requests.get('https://api.fbi.gov/wanted/v1/list', params={
    'page': 2
})
data = json.loads(response.content)
print(data['page'])
print(data['items'][0]['title'])
