      Microsoft Academic Search provides APIs to allow you to build compelling tools and experiences on top of the rich data. Whether you want to build your own ranking of institutions or build visual explorer for browsing academic papers in Genetics, we believe the APIs make it easy for you to start that project.

      We will continue to improve the APIs and we look forward to closely working with you – the community – to make sure the APIs do deliver the reliable, high-quality results so that you can focus on your apps and services.

      How can you get started with API?

      1. Review the API documentationand familiarize yourself with the restrictions

      2. If you are still interested, request an AppID by submitting the form below

      3. Build your app

      4. Test your app

      5. Deploy your app for everyone to use

      2. All our APIs come with the standard 200 queries per minute.

      Hi Cherry,

      We would love to incorporate a Microsoft Academic Search "sidebar" into the free version of the Qiqqa research management desktop client.  

      However, this seems impossible at the moment both because the client key gets sent in plain text over JSON/SOAP (perhaps you could support SSL?), and because client requests are limited to 200 requests per client key - not scalable for end user use.

      Do you have a timeframe when a more application-friendly version of the API might be available?

      Thanks,

      James

      Hi Jimme,

      We are currently investigating ways that we can improve our API, so thanks for the suggestions here.  Will we'll look into both of these issues, but I am not able to provide a timeframe for an update.

      Thanks,
