Food And Feed Business Operators (JVIS)
Access
- Public application:
https://jvis.agri.ee/jvis/avalik.html
- Food operator API:
POST https://jvis.agri.ee/jvis/api/avalik/toidukaitleja/otsing
- Feed operator API:
POST https://jvis.agri.ee/jvis/api/avalik/soodakaitleja/otsing
- No login is required, but API calls require cookies from the public application and the
XSRF-TOKEN cookie echoed in the X-XSRF-TOKEN header.
Retrieve
Use a cookie-aware client. First GET the public application, then send JSON to one of the search endpoints with the same cookies and XSRF header:
{
"filter": {"kaitlejaNimi": "Selver"},
"sort": [
{"field": "kaitlejaNimi", "direction": "ascending"},
{"field": "tegevuskohaNimi", "direction": "ascending"}
],
"page": {"number": 1, "size": 20}
}
Useful food filters are kaitlejaNimi, kaitlejaKood, tegevuskohaNimi, tegevuskohaAadress, tunnusnumber, maakonnaEhak, onlyTunnustatud, pohiKaitlemisvaldkonnad, and kaitlemisvaldkonnad. Start with one narrow text filter; an unfiltered query is large.
Return
- The response is JSON with
total and data.
- Preserve
kaitlejaNimi, kaitlejaIsikukoodRegkood, kaitlejaAadress, tegevuskohaNimi, tegevuskohaAadress, tunnusnumber, and the activity/approval fields present in each record.
- Report the endpoint, filter, page number, page size, retrieval time, and
total.
Limits
- Search values and classifier codes are primarily Estonian.
onlyTunnustatud: true limits results to approved establishments; false or omitted also includes notified operators.- Treat personal identifiers and addresses as public-register data and return only fields relevant to the request.
- A direct API POST without the cookie/XSRF bootstrap returns an error and is not a valid availability check.
Verify
- Require HTTP 200 and
application/json from the POST.
- Require integer
total, list data, and operator and location fields in returned rows.
