Empty result for PubMed from Europe PubMed Central #37
Comments
NCBI’s web services are quite painful to use. The European one might be a little slow to pick up new records from the NLM which produces them. If someone wants to write the library for NCBI’s service, I’m happy to use it.

It's actually pretty easy to use. I included the link in the original post. For example here is PubMed

Darn - got all excited: then saw this http://www.fredtrotter.com/2014/11/14/hacking-on-the-pubmed-api/ http://www.fredtrotter.com/2014/11/14/hacking-on-the-pubmed-api/ http://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/esummary.fcgi?db=pubmed&retmode=json&rettype=abstract&id=25081398,24792655 http://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/esummary.fcgi?db=pubmed&retmode=json&rettype=abstract&id=25081398,24792655

I echo Fred Trotter's sentiments. I learned the EUtils API a couple of months back, and just spent the last ten minutes reading it over again. Anyway, who cares if it's XML? The point is to allow users to access current PubMed data. We could make an XML request to EFetch and parse it with DOMParser. This seems well-supported in the browser as indicated here. |
The Europe PubMed Central seems out of sync with NCBI PubMed.
Example
Take the PMID
26672148
. This was published in April of 2015.Does it make sense to connect to multiple PubMed sources? Maybe try PubMed followed by Europe PubMed?
