Mendeley search by query parameters


Mendeley has a Catalog Search -> Search by query API that looks like the following: curl 'https://api.mendeley.com/search/catalog?query=polar+bears&limit=3' ...

The API Reference documentation says: "Retrieve documents which match general query terms."

I am wondering what general query terms (besides 'query=xxx' and 'limit=y') are available. I tried including some of the returned fields as parameters, e.g. year=2002, which was seemingly ignored, and title=xxx, which provoked the error: "Invalid parameters supplied"


Solution

  • It's all documented on the Swagger page.

    You can use title, and you can also search by year using min_year and max_year.
