Printer-friendly version

The Scopus Application Program Interface (API) lets you creatively interact with Scopus data by building mashups. Further it allows you to access and use Scopus data inside and outside of the traditional library domain through applications based on the API.

The API returns Scopus data in a format that easily integrates into an application or a web site. While registration and use of the interface will be open to non-customers, Scopus customers will have access to more data.

Most of the data on Scopus is already available through the API. Currently, you can use the API to request very specific information about article references, cited - by counts, and affiliations. Read more about the distinction between:
