Users can use the Web Services API User Interface (UI) to build and test their GET requests without impacting Stanford’s annual search/documents quotas.
- To build and test a request for News content, select News and Directories and then the relevant content sub-category.
- To build and test a request for Legal content, select US Legal and then the relevant content sub-category.
- Regardless of content category and sub-category, the search interface is generally consistent. The News and Directories - News search interface is a representative example:
- Your search will return a GET request (which you can copy into your API client) as well as a results preview.
➊ Enter search terms.
➋ Specify order in which results are returned.
➌ Search creates GET request, which user can copy into API client.
➍ Preview results.
