Available Functions

• author()

author_id = '5975467'
author = sinta.author(author_id)

print(author['name'])
# Output: Agus Zainal Arifin

The output format is the Python dictionary. The structure is given in the following sample output.

{'id': '5975467',
 'name': 'Agus Zainal Arifin',
 'url': 'http://sinta.ristekbrin.go.id/authors/detail?id=5975467&view=overview',

• authors()

Retrieves several author's information by Sinta ID. For example:

author_ids = ['5975467', '6005015', '29555']
authors = sinta.authors(author_ids)

print(authors[1]['name'])
# Output: Mauridhi Hery Purnomo

The output is a list of dictionaries with the same structure given by the author() function.

- dept_authors()

Retrieves a list of authors associated with a department. Department ID and affiliation ID must be specified. The output structure is different from that given by the previous function. This function retrieves only the ID's and names of each author. For example:

dept_id = '55001'
affil_id = '417'
authors = sinta.dept_authors(dept_id, affil_id)

print(authors[:3)
# Output: [{'id': '29555', 'name': 'Riyanarto Sarno'}, {'id': '5975467', 'name': 'Agus Zainal Arifin'}, {'id': '6023328', 'name': 'Nanik Suciati'}]

Other Output Formats

Other formats can be used by specifying the output_format argument:

author = sinta.author(id, output_format='json')

Avalable output formats:

• 'dictionary' (default)
• 'json'
• 'xml'

JSON output can be pretty-printed by setting pretty_print=True:

author = sinta.author(id, output_format='json', pretty_print=True)

For XML output, there are two library options which can be specified in the xml_library argument. These libraries give different output formats. The options are:

• dicttoxml (default)
• dict2xml

For example:

author = sinta.author(id, output_format='xml', xml_library='dict2xml')

If you want the XML output to be pretty-printed, you need to choose dict2xml instead of xmltodict since the latter does not produce pretty-printed XML output.
