|
|
<i>Monday, March 10, 2014</i>
|
|
</p><p>E-utilities, the API to the NCBI Entrez system, now offers two new options for data retrieval.</p><p>First, ESearch now offers a fully supported <i>&sort</i> parameter that determines the sort order of the UIDs returned. While each Entrez database has a default sort order, each also provides a variety of other sorting options found in the “Display Settings” menu at the top of a search result page. Any of these options may now be given to ESearch using &sort. </p><div class="iconblock whole_rhythm clearfix ten_col fig" id="fignews03102014resultssortedbyrelev" co-legend-rid="figlgndnews03102014resultssortedbyrelev"><a href="/books/NBK430988/figure/news_03-10-2014.resultssortedbyrelev/?report=objectonly" target="object" title="Figure" class="img_link icnblk_img figpopup" rid-figpopup="fignews03102014resultssortedbyrelev" rid-ob="figobnews03102014resultssortedbyrelev"><img class="small-thumb" src="/books/NBK430988/bin/cms_pubmed_sort_by_relevance.gif" src-large="/books/NBK430988/bin/cms_pubmed_sort_by_relevance.jpg" alt="Results sorted by Relevance" /></a><div class="icnblk_cntnt" id="figlgndnews03102014resultssortedbyrelev"><h4 id="news_03-10-2014.resultssortedbyrelev"><a href="/books/NBK430988/figure/news_03-10-2014.resultssortedbyrelev/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobnews03102014resultssortedbyrelev">Figure</a></h4><p class="float-caption no_bottom_margin">Results sorted by Relevance. </p></div></div><p>For example, to sort a PubMed retrieval by First Author, simply add “<i>&sort=first+author</i>” to your ESearch URL. If you are also supplying “<i>&usehistory=y</i>”, then the UIDs will also be sorted on the Entrez History so that when retrieved by ESummary or EFetch, the sort order will be retained in that output. Of particular interest is the new <a href="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/techbull/so13/so13_pm_relevance.html" ref="pagearea=body&targetsite=external&targetcat=link&targettype=uri">relevance sort option</a> now available in PubMed and several other databases. To enable this for ESearch, use “<i>&sort=relevance</i>”.</p><p>Second, the output for EInfo, ESearch and ESummary are now available in the popular <a href="http://json.org/" ref="pagearea=body&targetsite=external&targetcat=link&targettype=uri">JSON</a> format. To request data in JSON, simply append “<i>&retmode=json</i>” to the E-utility URL. Click on the following links for example outputs:</p><ul><li class="half_rhythm"><div>
