Web of Science Expanded API
Updates for category codes: Web of Science Categories (aka ASCA categories) are updated from time to time. You can find a recent example from the following announcement: New Web of Science categories reflect ever-evolving research – Clarivate.
The Expanded API has now been updated to reflect the latest list of categories.
Code | Category Name | Example UT |
DP | Development Studies | WOS:000756212300001 |
GS | Green & Sustainable Science & Technology | WOS:000758069100001 |
QS | Quantum Science & Technology | WOS:000751345300004 |
UQ | Regional & Urban Planning | WOS:000753021100001 |
Web of Science Starter API
The modifiedTimeSpan parameter is incompatible with the ‘all databases’ i.e. WOK search. Previously, the API would return an empty result set with no data. The API will now return a 400 error.
Additionally, the Swagger documentation of the Starter API has been updated to reflect this change.
