The whole source, organized and ready to query: this endpoint answers in milliseconds, at any hour, the same way every time. Every response carries

A few documents are published with only their cover page as text — the
substance of those is in the issue’s own edition, at the gaceta’s
official_url.Issues
POST /co/imprenta/gacetas-search/v1 The Gaceta’s own numbering, by chamber and date.
The whole source, organized and ready to query: this endpoint answers in milliseconds, at any hour, the same way every time. Every response carries
as_of: how current the data is.as_of, the applied filters, total, page, per_page,
total_pages, count and results[], most recent first. Each issue carries
id, number and number_key, chamber, published_at, printed_date,
legacy_label and official_url.
published_at is null on nine issues whose printed year cannot be a year
(0009, 0200, 0209 and the like). Those issues are real and are returned;
only the date is withheld, because the correct one is not knowable. Their
printed_date shows what the Gaceta prints.Diario Oficial
POST /co/imprenta/diarios-search/v1 Eighty-seven years of the gazette, by number and date.
The whole source, organized and ready to query: this endpoint answers in milliseconds, at any hour, the same way every time. Every response carries
as_of: how current the data is.as_of, the applied filters, total, page, per_page,
total_pages, count and results[], most recent first. Each issue carries
id, number and number_key, edition, published_at and official_url.
The record reaches back to issue 23,962 of 2 January 1939, but it is uneven
before 2000: seven years list no issues at all (1985, 1987, 1988, 1992, 1994,
1995 and 1998) and several others only a handful. An empty result for an old
year means the Imprenta lists nothing for it, not that nothing was published.
