# Karp API v7 — Lexical Resource Editing

**Canonical:** https://apis.io/apis/university-of-gothenburg/karp-api/  
**Provider:** University of Gothenburg — https://apis.io/providers/university-of-gothenburg/  
**Base URL:** https://spraakbanken4.it.gu.se/karp/v7  
**Documentation:** https://ws.spraakbanken.gu.se/docs/karp

Karp API v7 — Lexical Resource Editing is one of 14 APIs that [University of Gothenburg](https://apis.io/providers/university-of-gothenburg/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include Lexicography, Language Technology, Swedish, Dictionary, and Editing. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification and API documentation.

The editing and query surface over Språkbanken Text's lexical resources — entry CRUD, entry history and diff, resource permissions, field statistics, and inflection-table generation for the SAOL and SO dictionaries. Institution-operated: the OpenAPI document is served directly from spraakbanken4.it.gu.se, a University of Gothenburg host, and anonymous GET /resources/ returned HTTP 200 with 1,042,817 bytes on 2026-09-01. HOSTLESS AS PUBLISHED — the upstream servers[] entry is the relative value `/karp/v7` and there is no info.contact, so nothing in the document itself names its operator; it was attributed by the host it is served from and re-based in openapi/, with the relative original preserved in openapi/_original/.
