1 of 1 supported 16 October 2026

1.10.1 View subject page

Supported

Show the works on one subject, typically opened from a subject on a work.

What you can build

A page for each subject, reached from the subjects on a work. Patrons explore the collection by topic without having to phrase a search.

Typical flow

The patron chooses one of the subjects on a work (1.2.1).
The client searches with SearchWorks and filter[plas.subjects] set to the subject's id.
The page shows the works that match, with the same data as a search result (1.1.1).

What the API provides

A subject has a label and may have an id. Only a subject with an id can be used with the plas.subjects filter.
The subject filter is available only when GetSearchConfiguration lists plas.subjects in workSearch.filter.available.
When either is missing, show the subjects as text instead of links.

Calls in the API
