Cultural Heritage Register

Access

• Search and detail base: https://register.muinas.ee/public.php?menuID=monument
• The public server-rendered search works without authentication or browser automation.

Search

POST form data to the base URL. Prefer the precise fields when known:

• regnr: cultural-monument registry number.
• name: monument name.
• address: address text.
• county[], parish[], type[], and cm_type[]: multi-value identifiers taken from the live form options.

For a broad text search, POST nameanddescription=<at least 3 characters> and quickseatch=true; the misspelled field name is the site's actual contract.

The result is HTML. Parse the table headed Reg. nr, Nimi, Tüüp, Liik, Omavalitsus, and Aadress. Each row links to:

public.php?menuID=monument&action=view&id={regnr}

Detail

Fetch the absolute detail URL and parse labeled fields. Return the registry number, name, monument type and class, registration/protection dates, coordinates, condition, legal instruments, keywords, descriptions, address when present, and links to available detail, property, proceeding, grant, image, and document tabs.

Limits

• Search and records are HTML, not JSON; decode HTML entities before extracting text.
• Multi-select filter values are internal IDs. Read them from the current search form instead of guessing from labels.
• A detail page can expose different tabs and fields by monument type.

Verify

Require the requested registry number in both the result row and detail heading, plus the detail labels Mälestise nimi and Mälestise registri number.
