Basic question about the text query endpoint API

[Aaron Tay]

Hi all

Sorry for the basic question on the API

But i was trying out the new text query API endpoint

https://api.unpaywall.org/v2/search/?query=covid-19&is_oa=true&email=aaro...@gmail.com

I know it ranks the results by score but is there a way to get mre results than what is displayed? It seems to show a maximum of 50 results. Is there a way in the API to get the next 50? 

Or is this not possible via the API?

Thanks

Hi Aaron

According to the FAQ https://support.unpaywall.org/support/solutions/articles/44001977396-how-do-i-use-the-title-search-api- , it does not seem possible to get more than 50 results in the API : 

"Each query returns a maximum of 50 results, no matter how many matches there are. The result set is not paginated. If you need more results, get in touch with us."

Hi,

Glad to see the title search getting some use! Like the FAQ says, it's a bare-bones implementation meant to gauge interest and see what features people actually want. Thanks for looking up the FAQ, Eric.

Aaron, we just added pagination and updated the FAQ and API docs. Add a page argument to get results after the first 50. The pagination is stateless; there's no session token to hold on to. It's easier to use, but in the unlikely event that new matching articles are added while you're paging, it's possible to skip or repeat results.

I'll just chime in and say that our organization is also using title search and thank you very much for that. :-)

Hi Richard

Yes simple is good :)
