NSW LRS Historical Land Records Viewer IIIF Image API
A live Cantaloupe Image Server exposing the International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF) Image API 2.x over the scanned NSW land record images behind the Historical Land Records Viewer. Verified anonymously on 2026-07-26: the endpoint root returned HTTP 200 with the Cantaloupe "IIIF Image API 2.x Endpoint" documentation page advertising the sample patterns /{identifier}/info.json and /{identifier}/full/full/0/default.jpg, an image information document for identifier eirOSD%2F0938-0939%2F0939_0937_0001.jp2 returned HTTP 200 with Content-Type application/json declaring compliance profile http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json, and a derivative render at /full/200,/0/default.jpg returned HTTP 200 with Content-Type image/jpeg and 16,798 bytes. The saved info.json is the machine-readable contract: it declares @context http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json, protocol http://iiif.io/api/image, the source dimensions, six pyramid sizes, tile geometry, the formats jpg/tif/gif/png, the qualities bitonal/default/gray/ color and the full Level 2 feature list including cors, regionByPx, sizeByPct, rotationArbitrary and profileLinkHeader. Identifiers are constructed by the HLRV client as URL-encoded location + "/" + fileName over JPEG2000 masters. NSW LRS publishes no documentation for this endpoint, no OpenAPI, no key issuance and no rate-limit statement; it is an undocumented backend of a free public viewer, and the HLRV terms of use expressly prohibit scripted or emulated access.
