Web of Science API SOAP access will be out of service in 2021.

If you were retrieving literature data from the Web of Science SOAP access, please register the REST access service as below.

• How to get started
  1) Sign up for the portal: Create a user account for the Developer Portal(https://developer.clarivate.com). Please use the UNIST e-mail address.
  2) Register your application: Tell the API Portal which application you are working on. You’ll need to register the application before requesting API access.
  3) Subscribe to an API: Find the ‘WOS API Lite’ for your application on the APIs page. Select a plan, then subscribe to the API. For some plans, credentials are granted immediately; for others, administrative approval is required. Note: The approval process may take a few days.
  4) Use the API: Once credentials are received, you are ready to use the API in your application according to the subscribed plan.
