Get complete info from affiliation

[miltonlab]

Hi friends, i need get complete Author data for publications retrieved from Affiliation query, buy i not found author atributes how can i do it?

Affiliation example

...: # Initialize affiliation with ID as string
...: my_aff = ElsAffil(affil_id = '60101411')
...: if my_aff.read(client):
...:     print ("my_aff.name: ", my_aff.name)
...:     my_aff.write()
...: else:
...:     print ("Read affiliation failed.")
...: 

my_aff.name: American Institute of Steel Construction

In [20]: ## Affiliation example

[ale-de-vries]

Try this:

# Initiate affiliation object
my_aff = ElsAffil(affil_id = '60101411')

# read all the documents for this affiliation. NOTE: requires elevated APIkey permissions
my_aff.read_docs(client)

# print, for each document read in the previous statement, Scopus ID and list of authors (list of authors
#  apparently being what you are after)
for doc in my_aff.doc_list:
    print (doc['dc:title'], doc['dc:identifier'], doc['authors'])

The .read_docs() method requires elevated permissions for your APIkey. Assuming you are based at an institution that has a Scopus subscription, you can request those permissions by contacting integrationsupport at elsevier dot com.

Apologies for the late reply.
Check your log file (/logs/elsapy-YYYYMMDD.log) for details. If you see an error like this:

HTTP 400 Error from https://api.elsevier.com/content/affiliation/AFFILIATION_ID/116064452?view=documents
with
{"service-error":{"status":{"statusCode":"INVALID_INPUT","statusText":"View parameter entered is not valid for this service"}}}

... then it is likely the aforementioned permission problem. Again, assuming you are based at an institution that has a Scopus subscription, you can request those permissions by contacting integrationsupport at elsevier dot com.

Exactly @ale-de-vries , if my institution don't have Scopus suscription, can i request a test subscription for access this service by API?

[ale-de-vries]

I'm afraid you'll have to contact your institution's library for that. Scopus does not have an individual subscription model, and trials are only granted to institutions.

@ale-de-vries Some people have this problem (see #52 and #50). I have tried to contact integrationsupport at elsevier dot com but then told me they don't have to do anything to have the API working. How can we solve the problem?
