# Perma.cc API (Harvard Library Innovation Lab)

**Canonical:** https://apis.io/apis/harvard/perma/  
**Provider:** Harvard University — https://apis.io/providers/harvard/  
**Base URL:** https://api.perma.cc/v1  
**Documentation:** https://perma.cc/

Perma.cc API (Harvard Library Innovation Lab) is one of 14 APIs that [Harvard University](https://apis.io/providers/harvard/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Web Archiving, Legal, Citation, and Library.

Perma.cc is the Harvard Law School Library Innovation Lab's link-rot service, creating permanent citable archives of web pages, and it exposes a public REST API at api.perma.cc. Ownership is confirmed - the codebase is github.com/harvard-lil/perma and the repo declares perma.cc as its homepage. HONEST LIMIT: every probe of api.perma.cc and perma.cc from this run hit a Cloudflare interstitial (403), so the surface is recorded as live-but-unreadable to us. No response shape, no auth scheme and no error contract was verified, and none is claimed here.
