Release notes - April 27, 2023
Web of Science Expanded API
- Improvements to the usability of the viewField parameter: The optionView parameter is now assumed if viewField is provided. The parameter will continue to be accepted by the API, but has been removed from the documentation.
Example old request
https://wos-api.clarivate.com/api/wos/?databaseId=WOS&usrQuery=ts=cadmium&count=1&firstRecord=1&viewField=WOS+UID+pub_info+keywords&optionView=FS
Example new request
https://wos-api.clarivate.com/api/wos/?databaseId=WOS&usrQuery=ts=cadmium&count=1&firstRecord=1&viewField=UID+pub_info+keywords
Note the omission of ‘optionView=FS’ in the example new request.
- Example values for viewField added to documentation.
- Bugfix for the /related endpoint: Including the viewField and optionView parameter was resulting in an error when querying the /related endpoint. The issue has been resolved in this release.
