How to use XML API URL, doi.crossref.org/servlet/query?qdata={xml}, for DOI-to-metadata query?
✍: FYIcenter.com
XML API URL doi.crossref.org/servlet/query?qdata={xml} allows you to query for metadata with an XML query.
This XML API supports the following parameters:
pid={email} - Required. The email address to identify yourself. format={format} - Optional. The format for the returning XML: xsd_xml, unixsd or unixref. id={doi} - Required if "data" is not provided. The DOI of the research paper. qdata={query_xml} - Required if "id" is not provided. The XML string of the query.
The "qdata={query_xml}" parameter supports 3 styles of XML queries:
1. Standard XML query. For example:
<?xml version = "1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <query_batch xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" version="2.0" xmlns="http://www.crossref.org/qschema/2.0" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.crossref.org/qschema/2.0 http://www.crossref.org/qschema/crossref_query_input2.0.xsd"> <head> <email_address>support@crossref.org</email_address> <doi_batch_id>ABC_123_fff</doi_batch_id> </head> <body> <query key="1178517" enable-multiple-hits="false" forward-match="false"> <issn match="optional">15360075</issn> <journal_title match="exact">American Journal of Bioethics</journal_title> <author match="fuzzy" search-all-authors="false">Agich</author> <volume match="fuzzy">1</volume> <issue>1</issue> <first_page>50</first_page> <year>2001</year> <article_title>The Salience of Narrative for Bioethics</article_title> </query> </body> </query_batch>
2. Unstructured (formatted) citation. For example:
<?xml version = "1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <query_batch xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" version="2.0" xmlns="http://www.crossref.org/qschema/2.0" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.crossref.org/qschema/2.0 http://www.crossref.org/qschema/crossref_query_input2.0.xsd"> <head> <email_address>support@crossref.org</email_address> <doi_batch_id>ABC_123_fff</doi_batch_id> </head> <body> <query key="8517117" enable-multiple-hits="true"> <unstructured_citation>Hungate, B. A., & Hampton, H. M. (2012). Ecosystem services: Valuing ecosystems for climate. Nature Climate Change, 2(3), 151-152.</unstructured_citation> </query> </body> </body> </query_batch>
3. Multiple queries. For example:
<?xml version = "1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <query_batch xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" version="2.0" xmlns="http://www.crossref.org/qschema/2.0" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.crossref.org/qschema/2.0 http://www.crossref.org/qschema/crossref_query_input2.0.xsd"> <head> <email_address>support@crossref.org</email_address> <doi_batch_id>ABC_123_fff</doi_batch_id> </head> <body> <query key="query1" enable-multiple-hits="false" forward-match="false"> <issn match="optional">15360075</issn> <journal_title match="exact">American Journal of Bioethics</journal_title> <author match="fuzzy" search-all-authors="false">Agich</author> <volume match="fuzzy">1</volume> <issue>1</issue> <first_page>50</first_page> <year>2001</year> <article_title>The Salience of Narrative for Bioethics</article_title> </query> <query key="query2" enable-multiple-hits="true"> <unstructured_citation>Hungate, B. A., & Hampton, H. M. (2012). Ecosystem services: Valuing ecosystems for climate. Nature Climate Change, 2(3), 151-152.</unstructured_citation> </query> </body> </query_batch>
If you want to try to submit a query with the "qdata={query_xml}" parameter, you need to encode query XML as a URL string. Here is a request that sends the about 2-query XML to doi.crossref.org. It returns 2 matches. Remember to remove those line breaks if you want to try the "curl" below.
