API documentation

[henridewinter]

It seems to me that the documentation is out of sync with the API JSON result, e.g. the JSON returns information about references which is not documented. Is there somewhere a newer and more actual version of the documentation?

I used https://api.crossref.org/works?query.bibliographic=vosviewer to find out about these results.

I think that documentation is missing information about references and relations. Will add.

Can you tell me the difference between reference-count field and references-count field in the work JSON. They seem to have the same value.

Structure changes 2017-8.xlsx

This is an Excel file with fields I've found in the current JSON that are not in the documentation.

They are the same, there's been a slight naming change, but the old field is still there for backwards compatibility.

Thanks for the spreadsheet 👍

Hi Karl Jonathan,

Thank you for updating the documentation.

I still have one question about the documentation. In the JSON I see this for the relation field:

relation: { cites: [ ] }

I can’t seem to find a work where the cites array is filled. Maybe you can tell me what the type of the array is?

kind regards,

Henri de Winter
