Article DOI/PMID Lookup Endpoint (LibKey)

Article DOI/PMID Lookup Endpoint (LibKey)

The LibKey Article DOI or PMID Lookup Endpoint allows your application to determine whether an article is available at browzine.com, and information about the article to produce a LibKey Direct PDF Link as well as produce a link to the article within the context of the issue in BrowZine at your library.

Contact Third Iron Support to Request your API Key

Email us at support@thirdiron.com to request your API Key.  

There are two types of API Keys available:

Individual Library - A key to be used (and only authorized) for a subscribing institution to the LibKey Service.

Integration Partner - This “Universal” key can be used to access any subscribing Library ID with a single API Key and pairs nicely with the Library List Endpoint. This is useful for building applications that serve a large number of different users with different institutional affiliations. Issuance of this type of key requires a license from Third Iron but carries no fee. Please contact support@thirdiron.com for more details!

Submit a GET request against this endpoint with a DOI and your application will get a response indicating if that article can be found in the designated library within BrowZine/LibKey.  If the DOI or PMID matches an article in the Third Iron system, the response will contain an "Article Result" JSON object with metadata about the article reference by the specified DOI or PMID.
