DOJ News API

The DOJ News API exposes press releases and blog entries from the Office of Public Affairs as a JSON web service. The api_v1 reference documents four resources — list and detail views for press_releases and blog_entries — with field selection, zero-based paging (default 20, maximum 50), sorting, and bracketed filter parameters such as parameters[title] and parameters[date] in Unix epoch seconds. The DOJ Developer Resources page also describes speeches, but no speeches resource is listed in the reference and GET /api/v1/speeches.json returned 404 when probed on 2026-09-06.
