JSON(P)

base url

https://biblio.ugent.be/publication

request method

GET

response content type

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:

showResults({

        ],
        ...
    });

Embedding into external pages (iframe)

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

Easy embedding guide

Do a normal search for the publications you want to embed. Optionally set the desired page size or sorting.
Choose Embed this list from the Actions menu.
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.
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

unAPI discovery service

unAPI is a simple HTTP service to discover alternate formats. This allows software like Zotero to autodiscover record metadata.

protocol: unAPI
version: 1
documentation: http://unapi.info/specs
base url: https://biblio.ugent.be/unapi

Example queries

get a list of alternate formats available for all records:: https://biblio.ugent.be/unapi
get a list of alternate formats available for a particular record:: https://biblio.ugent.be/unapi?id=2003357
retrieve the record as BibTeX:: https://biblio.ugent.be/unapi?id=2003357&format=bibtex

Sitemap

A sitemap listing all records is available at https://biblio.ugent.be/siteindex.xml. The sitemap can be used as a lightweight method to harvest all records.

OAI harvesting service

A OAI-PMH based service is available to completely or partially harvest publications.

protocol: OAI-PMH
version: 2.0
documentation: http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/openarchivesprotocol.html
base url: https://biblio.ugent.be/oai

Example queries

get information about this repository:: https://biblio.ugent.be/oai?verb=Identify
list export formats supported by this repository:: https://biblio.ugent.be/oai?verb=ListMetadataFormats
list records for an export format:: https://biblio.ugent.be/oai?verb=ListRecords&metadataPrefix=oai_dc
retrieve the next batch of records based on a resumptionToken (found in the output of the previous command):: https://biblio.ugent.be/oai?verb=ListRecords&resumptionToken=!!!oai_dc!100

SRU search service

SRU is a standard XML-focused search protocol for Internet search queries, utilizing CQL (Contextual Query Language), a standard syntax for representing queries.

protocol: SRU
version: 1.1
documentation: https://www.loc.gov/standards/sru/index.html
base url: https://biblio.ugent.be/sru

Example queries

search for "dna" in the default index (basic):: https://biblio.ugent.be/sru?version=1.1&operation=searchRetrieve&query=dna
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

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
