Requirements
API Key
You must obtain an API Key to access the Scopus APIs to search and retrieve the articles' information. It has no spaces and is made up of 32 characters containing only letters and numbers. It can be obtained by accessing the Elsevier Developer Portal, clicking on the I want an API Key button and registering.
If you are part of an educational institution, you can try to confirm if your institution is registered with Elsevier to sign in via your organization, or you can also try to register with your academic email.
Keywords
Based on the theme or subject of your research, you must select a minimum of two and a maximum of four keywords, which will be used as parameters and filters in the simultaneous search in the title, abstract and keywords of the articles. Each keyword must be written in English, containing only letters, numbers, spaces and underscores, with a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 50 characters.
Example
Institutional Network
Please be aware that the API Key will only authenticate correctly if you submit it while inside your university/institution's network, and this does not include VPN or proxy access. Therefore, if you are fully remote and off-campus, the abstract and all authors of the articles will not be returned.
