some doi-s return 404 even though the website finds them #565

The following doi-s all return 404 when queried via api.crossref.org/works but work fine via the crossref website. Am I calling the api incorrectly?

doi-s: 10.1007/JHEP06(2021)177 10.1038/s42005-021-00650-z 10.1039/d1na00307k 10.1103/PhysRevMaterials.5.064007 10.1140/epjc/s10052-021-09317-z 10.1177/10943420211022829 10.1177/10943420211028940 10.3847/1538-4357/abff5d

Specifically calling: curl https://api.crossref.org/works/10.3847/1538-4357/abff5d returns a 404, but: curl https://www.crossref.org/10.3847/1538-4357/abff5d works fine.

Thanks!

I skimmed through and these all seem to have been published relatively recently. My impression is that the API database is not exactly the same as the "master" database and that the former lags the latter. I don't know if the API has any guarantees as to how long it takes from submission to API availability. That or something with the recent API update is causing issues .... Although this is all speculation. See also #564 which I think is the same issue.

Thank you for noting this. We are using Gitlab for all issue tracking moving forward, so please file issues there in the future.

These and other DOIs reported missing are now available via the public pool of the REST API, and we believe the underlying issue has been resolved.
