Instructions
Fetch metadata for any Hungarian legislation by its ELI (type + year + issuer + serial).
Use this for anything other than Acts (torveny) - government decrees, ministerial decrees,
etc. Use hu_list_doc_types for valid doc_type codes and hu_list_issuers for valid
issuer codes (issuer codes are case-sensitive, e.g. Korm for Government).

| dataset_note | No | Nemzeti Jogszabalytar (NJT) is Hungary's official, free-to-use national legislation database, maintained by MKIFK (Magyar Kozlonykiado es Igazsagugyi Forditokozpont Zrt.) at njt.jog.gov.hu. Hungary publishes a genuine, documented national ELI (European Legislation Identifier) URI scheme since 2023 (see /eli/urisemak). Each ELI URI resolves (HTTP 302) to a server-rendered HTML document page carrying the consolidated (currently-in-force, unless a historical date is requested) text of the act. There is no REST/JSON API and no headless full-text search - the search/browse UI is an AngularJS SPA that requires a session and JavaScript; documents must be addressed by a known ELI (type + year + serial, and an issuer code for non-Act types). | |
