<PRE>As part of an ongoing effort to ensure efficient access to the Entrez
|
|
Utilities (E-utilities) by all users, NCBI has decided to change the
|
|
usage policy for the E-utilities effective June 1, 2010. Effective on
|
|
June 1, 2010, all E-utility requests, either using standard URLs or
|
|
SOAP, must contain non-null values for both the &tool and &email
|
|
parameters. Any E-utility request made after June 1, 2010 that does not
|
|
contain values for both parameters will return an error explaining that
|
|
these parameters must be included in E-utility requests.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The value of the &tool parameter should be a URI-safe string that is the
|
|
name of the software package, script or web page producing the E-utility
|
|
request.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The value of the &email parameter should be a valid e-mail address for
|
|
the appropriate contact person or group responsible for maintaining the
|
|
tool producing the E-utility request.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
NCBI uses these parameters to contact users whose use of the E-utilities
|
|
violates the standard usage policies described at
|
|
<A HREF="http://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query/static/eutils_help.html#User">http://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query/static/eutils_help.html#User</A>
|
|
SystemRequirements. These usage policies are designed to prevent
|
|
excessive requests from a small group of users from reducing or
|
|
eliminating the wider community's access to the E-utilities. NCBI will
|
|
attempt to contact a user at the e-mail address provided in the &email
|
|
parameter prior to blocking access to the E-utilities.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
NCBI realizes that this policy change will require many of our users to
|
|
change their code. Based on past experience, we anticipate that most of
|
|
our users should be able to make the necessary changes before the June
|
|
1, 2010 deadline. If you have any concerns about making these changes by
|
|
that date, or if you have any questions about these policies, please
|
|
contact <A HREF="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/mailman/listinfo/utilities-announce">eutilities at ncbi.nlm.nih.gov.</A>
|
|
|

|
|
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in helping us continue
|
|
to deliver a reliable and efficient web service.
