APIANT.aiCrossref Metadata Search
Crossref is the DOI registration agency for scholarly publishing and exposes metadata for well over a hundred million journal articles, books, book chapters, conference papers, preprints, and datasets. A caller can look up a work by its DOI, search works by title, author, or full-text query, filter results by publication date, type, funder, or license, and list registered publishers, journals, funders, and their associated works. Responses include titles, authors with ORCID ids, publication dates, ISSN and ISBN values, reference lists, and citation counts. No credentials required.
