JSON(P)
base url
https://biblio.ugent.be/publication
request method
GET
response content type
  • application/json
  • text/javascript (JSONP)

Example queries

a search for "dna":
https://biblio.ugent.be/publication?q=dna&format=json
wrapped in a Javascript callback:
https://biblio.ugent.be/publication?q=dna&format=json&callback=showResults
a search for "dna" sorted by year and title:
https://biblio.ugent.be/publication?q=dna&format=json&sort=year.desc,title.asc

Example response

{
        "hits": [
            ...
        ],
        "limit": 10,
        "total": 49967,
        "size": 10,
        "start": 0

JSONP wraps the JSON response in a callback function:

Embedding into external pages (iframe)

Most pages and any CQL search can be embedded into your own page.

Easy embedding guide

  1. Do a normal search for the publications you want to embed. Optionally set the desired page size or sorting.

  2. Choose Embed this list from the Actions menu.

  3. Customize the appearance of the list.

    Choose a fitting citation style

    Set width and height of the list

    Hide or show parts of the list:
    hide pagination hides the pagination links at the top and bottom of the list.
    hide info hides the range info in the top left corner:
    hide options hides the page size, sorting and export controls in the top right corner:

    hide year clustering hides the clustering of publications by year.

  4. Copy and paste the resulting HTML code snippet into your own page.

Embedding manually

Adding the embed=1 query parameter will give you a headless layout.

To get publications by the Department of Experimental psychology:
<iframe
      allowtransparency="true"
      frameborder="0"
      src="https://biblio.ugent.be/organization/PP02?embed=1">
    </iframe>
To get the first 100 publications with the word "polyps" in the title, in the APA citation style, without showing the page size, sorting and export controls:
<iframe
      allowtransparency="true"
      frameborder="0"
      src="https://biblio.ugent.be/publication?embed=1&amp;hide_options=1&amp;limit=100&amp;q=title+any+polyps&amp;style=apa">
    </iframe>
Embed Parameters
style={style} see the list of citation styles for possible values
hide_pagination=1 hides the pagination links at the top and bottom of the list
hide_info=1 hides the range info in the top left corner
hide_options=1 hides the page size, sorting and export controls in the top right corner
hide_cluster=1 hides the clustering of publications by year

search for "dna" or "loci" in the title:
https://biblio.ugent.be/sru?version=1.1&operation=searchRetrieve&query=title+any+"dna+loci"
records 101-200 of a search for "dna":
https://biblio.ugent.be/sru?version=1.1&operation=searchRetrieve&query=dna&maximumRecords=100&startRecord=101

Sorting

Sorting is supported by adding a sortKeys query parameter.

Sort on year ascending:
sortKeys=year,,1
Sort on year descending:
sortKeys=year,,0
Sort on first author ascending and then on year descending:
sortKeys=author,,1+year,,0

Contextual Query Language CQL

CQL
version
1.1
documentation

CQL basics

A CQL clause is a combination of an index, a relation and search terms. In the clause
title any physics
title is the index, any the relation and physics the search term.

A CQL query consists of either a single clause:
title any physics
Or multiple clauses connected by boolean operators:
title any physics and author any einstein
Clauses are grouped with parentheses:
title any physics and (author any einstein or type exact journalArticle)

Some examples

Search for "dna":
dna
Search for "dna" in the title:
title any dna
Search for "dna" and "loci" in the title:
title all "dna loci"
Search for "dna" or "loci" in the title:
title any "dna loci"
Search for records published between 2003 and 2005:
year >= 2003 and year <= 2005
Search for records published after 2003:
year > 2003
Search for records where "dna" and "loci" are separated by less than 3 words:
title prox/distance<3 loci
This search will also match "Claus" and "Klaas":
author =/fuzzy Klaus
This search will match both "psychology" and "psychopathology":
psych*gy

Caveats

  • resultSetId is not supported
  • only the default cql context set is supported
  • the default relation is =
  • the encloses relation is not supported
  • only the =/fuzzy relation modifier is supported
  • =/fuzzy only gives the expected result for single terms, not phrases
  • relation qualifiers are not supported
  • wildcards (*, ?) are supported for the = relation, but can't be the first letter
  • wildcards only give the expected result for single terms, not phrases
  • anchors (^) are not yet supported
  • boolean modifiers other than prox/distance<n are not supported
