Release notes - May 11, 2023
Web of Science Lite and Expanded (SOAP) APIs
The November 1, 2023 sunset of the legacy SOAP versions of our Web of Science APIs was announced last year (see FAQ at Web of Science: SOAP API Sunset – Frequently asked questions (FAQs) (clarivate.com). As of this release, the SOAP APIs will include three new headers in every response intended to alert users of the impended sunset.
The new headers are:
| Deprecation | true |
|---|---|
| Sunset | Wed, 1 Nov 2023 23:59:59 GMT |
| Link | https://developer.clarivate.com/apis/wos>; rel=”alternate”, https://support.clarivate.com/ScientificandAcademicResearch/s/article/Web-of-Science-SOAP-API-Sunset-Frequently-asked-questions-FAQs?language=en_US>; rel=”sunset” |
Web of Science Expanded (REST) API
Documentation improvements: examples are now provided for required fields, plus for the optional ‘sortField’ parameter.
Journals API
A bug was fixed for calls made to the title history endpoint. Previously, if changeYear was not provided an error was returned (i.e. a request to http://api.clarivate.com/apis/wos-journals/v1/journals/history/title). The changeYear parameter is now optional, per the documentation.
