Web of Science APIs
A suite of APIs support simple and complex searching of Web of Science data, helping researchers and analysts efficiently define and retrieve the data they need for their project.
Standard XML feeds
Raw underlying Web of Science metadata for several editions/databases from 1900 to today supports your large-scale projects.
Ad-hoc XML datasets
Custom slices of raw underlying Web of Science metadata support targeted research activities involving smaller-scale datasets.
Journal Citation Reports API
Retrieve journal level metadata and metrics for all journals in the Web of Science Core Collection, including Journal Impact Factor and the Journal Citation Indicator.
InCites API
Retrieve a diverse set of metrics, including normalized indicators by various subject area schemas, for all Web of Science Core Collection publications from 1980 onward.
Custom extractions
Bespoke data deliveries include data and files that are customized to meet your specific needs. Or save time with pre-defined analytics, such as Citation Reports.
