There was a temporary interruption of some AGROVOC services on 19-20 February 2025 due to server maintenance. Many apologies. AGROVOC services have been restored. If you experience unusual delays, please let us know at [email protected].

Please note that the Legacy Web Services (using the SOAP protocol) have been retired. There are currently two ways to access AGROVOC data without the need of a user interface: the SPARQL endpoint at https://agrovoc.fao.org/sparql  and the Skosmos REST APIs, see https://www.fao.org/agrovoc/machine-use An example of the working REST APIs is:  http://agrovoc.fao.org/browse/rest/v1/search/?query=bea*&lang=en

A technical tip: In case the Hierarchy tab in AGROVOC Skosmos appears empty, we recommend a hard refresh in your browser. That should make the Hierarchy content visible again. In Edge and Chrome and Firefox: Press Ctrl+F5. (If that doesn’t work, try Shift+F5 or Ctrl+Shift+R).
