XML API - www.crossref.org/openurl/?id=doi:{doi}

Q

How to use XML API URL, www.crossref.org/openurl/?id=doi:{doi}, for DOI-to-metadata query?

✍: FYIcenter.com

A

XML API URL www.crossref.org/openurl/?id=doi:{doi} allows you to query for metadata of a given DOI and receive output in XML format. This is also called OpenURL query.

This XML API supports the following parameters: 

pid={email} - Required. The email address to identify yourself.
id=doi:{doi} - Required. The DOI of the research paper.
noredirect=true - Required. Flag to stop redirect.
format={format} - Optional. The format for the returning XML: xsd_xml, unixsd or unixref.

Here is an example of how to use the XML API with the default format, which is a simple text format, not XML: 

fyicenter$ curl 'https://www.crossref.org/openurl/?pid=email@address.com&id=doi:10.1577/H02-043&noredirect=true'
