Low Level Client for Crossref Search API

habanero

This is a low level client for working with Crossref’s search API. It’s been named to be more generic, as other organizations are/will adopt Crossref’s search API, making it possible to interact with all from one client.

Crossref API docs

Other Crossref API clients:

• Ruby: serrano, https://github.com/sckott/serrano

• R: rcrossref, https://github.com/ropensci/rcrossref

habanero includes three modules you can import as needed (or import all):

Crossref - Crossref search API. The Crossref module includes methods matching Crossref API routes, and a few convenience methods for getting DOI agency and random DOIs:

• works - /works route

• members - /members route

• prefixes - /prefixes route

• funders - /funders route

• journals - /journals route

• types - /types route

• licenses - /licenses route

• registration_agency - get DOI minting agency

• random_dois - get random set of DOIs

counts - citation counts. Includes the single citation_count method

cn - content negotiation. Includes the methods:

• content_negotiation - get citations in a variety of formats

• csl_styles - get CSL styles, used in content_negotation method

Note about searching:

You are using the Crossref search API described at https://github.com/CrossRef/rest-api-doc. When you search with query terms, on Crossref servers they are not searching full text, or even abstracts of articles, but only what is available in the data that is returned to you. That is, they search article titles, authors, etc. For some discussion on this, see https://github.com/CrossRef/rest-api-doc/issues/101

Rate limits

See the headers X-Rate-Limit-Limit and X-Rate-Limit-Interval for current rate limits.

The Polite Pool

To get in the polite pool it’s a good idea now to include a mailto email address. See docs for more information.

Installation

Stable version

pip install habanero

Dev version

sudo pip install git+git://github.com/sckott/habanero.git#egg=habanero

# OR

git clone [e-mail]:sckott/habanero.git
cd habanero
make install

Usage

Initialize a client

from habanero import Crossref
cr = Crossref()

Works route

x = cr.works(query = "ecology")
x['message']
x['message']['total-results']
x['message']['items']

Members route

cr.members(ids = 98, works = True)

Citation counts

from habanero import counts
counts.citation_count(doi = "10.1016/j.fbr.2012.01.001")

Content negotiation - get citations in many formats

from habanero import cn
cn.content_negotiation(ids = '10.1126/science.169.3946.635')
cn.content_negotiation(ids = '10.1126/science.169.3946.635', format = "citeproc-json")
cn.content_negotiation(ids = "10.1126/science.169.3946.635", format = "rdf-xml")
cn.content_negotiation(ids = "10.1126/science.169.3946.635", format = "text")
cn.content_negotiation(ids = "10.1126/science.169.3946.635", format = "text", style = "apa")
cn.content_negotiation(ids = "10.1126/science.169.3946.635", format = "bibentry")

Changelog

0.6.0 (2017-10-20)

• Added verification and docs for additional Crossref search filters (#62)

• Big improvement to docs on readthedocs (#59)

• Added mailto support (#68) (#63) and related added docs about polite pool (#66)

• Added support for select parameter (#65)

• Added all new /works route filters, and simplified filter option handling within library (#60)

0.5.0 (2017-07-20)

• Now using vcrpy to mock all unit tests (#54)

• Can now set your own base URL for content negotation (#37)

• Some field queries with works() were failing, but now seem to be working, likely due to fixes in Crossref API (#53)

0.3.0 (2017-05-21)

• sample parameter maximum value is 100 - has been for a while, but wasn’t updated in Crossref docs (#44)

• Updated docs that facet parameter can be a string query in addition to a boolean (#49)

• Documented new 10,000 max value for /works requests - that is, for the offset parameter - if you need more results than that use cursor (see https://github.com/CrossRef/rest-api-doc/blob/master/rest_api.md#deep-paging-with-cursors) (#47)

• Added to docs a bit about rate limiting, their current values, that they can change, and how to show them in verbose curl responses (#45)
