-# CrossRef — Scraping & Data Extraction
-
-`https://api.crossref.org` — scholarly DOI and citation metadata. **Never use the browser for CrossRef.** Completely free, no auth required. All workflows use `http_get`.
-
-## Do this first
-
-**Always add `mailto=your@email.com` to every request** — it moves you into the polite pool, which doubles the rate limit and concurrency allowance. The difference is measurable and the cost is zero.
-
-```python
-from helpers import http_get
-import json
-
-MAILTO = "mailto=your@email.com"  # set once, append to every URL
-
-# Single DOI lookup — fastest way to get metadata for a known paper
-data = json.loads(http_get(f"https://api.crossref.org/works/10.1038/s41586-021-03819-2?{MAILTO}"))
-msg = data['message']
-# msg keys: DOI, title, author, published, type, container-title, volume, issue,
-#           page, is-referenced-by-count, references-count, abstract (optional), ...

-### Cursor pagination (large result sets)
-
-Standard offset pagination (`start=`) caps at a few thousand results. Use cursor for full sweeps.
-
-```python
-from helpers import http_get
-from urllib.parse import quote
-import json
-
-MAILTO = "mailto=your@email.com"
-
-# First page: cursor=*
-data = json.loads(http_get(
-    f"https://api.crossref.org/works?query=covid&rows=100&cursor=*&{MAILTO}"
-))
-msg = data['message']
-print("Total results:", msg['total-results'])   # 897,660
-items = msg['items']
-next_cursor = msg['next-cursor']   # base64 string like "DnF1ZXJ5VGhlbkZldGNoJA..."
-
-# Next pages: pass URL-encoded cursor
-while next_cursor and items:
-    data = json.loads(http_get(
-        f"https://api.crossref.org/works?query=covid&rows=100"
-        f"&cursor={quote(next_cursor)}&{MAILTO}"
-    ))
-    msg = data['message']
-    items = msg.get('items', [])
-    next_cursor = msg.get('next-cursor')
-    # process items...
-    break  # remove for full sweep
-```
-
-### Fetch specific fields only (`select=`)
-
-Reduces response size significantly for bulk operations:
-
-```python
-from helpers import http_get

-))
-# Warning: if a field is absent for a record, it simply won't appear in that item
-for item in data['message']['items']:
-    print(list(item.keys()))   # only ['DOI', 'title'] or ['DOI', 'title', 'author']
-    # Note: select= does NOT guarantee the field appears — absent fields are just omitted
-```
-
-### Count by type using facets
-
-```python
-from helpers import http_get

-## Rate limits
-
-CrossRef has two pools based on whether `mailto=` is present:
-
-| Pool | Triggered by | Rate limit | Concurrency |
-|---|---|---|---|
-| **polite** | `mailto=` param present | 10 req/s | 3 concurrent |
-| **public** | no `mailto=` | 5 req/s | 1 concurrent |
-
-Headers returned: `x-rate-limit-limit`, `x-rate-limit-interval`, `x-concurrency-limit`, `x-api-pool`.
-
-In practice with polite pool: 10 rapid sequential calls complete in ~2.7s (avg 0.27s/req) with no throttling. 5 parallel calls complete in ~0.3s. Stay at `max_workers=5` to respect the concurrency limit.
-
-No per-day or per-hour cap. If you exceed limits, responses slow or return HTTP 429. No ban. Add `time.sleep(0.1)` between calls for sustained bulk crawls.
-
-## Gotchas
-
-- **`mailto=` doubles your rate limit and concurrency.** Public pool: 5 req/s, concurrency=1. Polite pool: 10 req/s, concurrency=3. Always add `?mailto=your@email.com` to every request — confirmed by reading `x-api-pool` response header.
-
-- **`title`, `container-title`, `ISSN` are always lists, not strings.** Access with `title[0]`, `container-title[0]` etc. Do not rely on there being only one entry — `container-title` can have multiple values.
-
-- **Abstract contains JATS XML markup.** The `abstract` field is not plain text — it contains tags like `<jats:p>`, `<jats:italic>`, `<jats:sup>`. Strip with `re.sub(r'<[^>]+>', ' ', abstract)`. About 30-70% of works have an abstract at all; journal articles 2023 with `has-abstract:true` filter: 3,041,841 / ~5.5M total = ~55%.
-
-- **ORCID is a full URL, not just the ID.** `a['ORCID']` = `"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6169-6580"`. Strip with `.replace('https://orcid.org/', '')` to get the bare ID. `authenticated-orcid: false` means self-asserted (not verified via OAuth).
-
-- **`published` vs `published-print` vs `published-online`.** Online-first is common in journals — a paper may be online months before its print issue. `published` is CrossRef's best single date and equals `published-online` when both exist. For preprints (`posted-content` type), look for `posted` instead of `published-print` — it may only have `posted` and `published`. Partial dates like `[[2023]]` (year only) are valid — always use `parse_date()` to handle missing month/day.
-
-- **404 raises `HTTPError`, not a JSON error response.** An invalid DOI (e.g. `10.9999/doesnotexist`) raises `urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 404: Not Found`. Wrap `fetch_work()` in try/except for any untrusted DOI list.
-
-- **`volume` and `issue` are strings, not integers.** CrossRef stores them as strings — `"596"`, not `596`. Don't compare with `==` to an int.
-
-- **Filter type values are hyphenated lowercase, not the facet display names.** `filter=type:journal-article` works. `filter=type:journal article`, `filter=type:Journal Article`, and `filter=type:conference-paper` all return HTTP 400. Conference papers are `proceedings-article`.
-
-- **`select=` does not guarantee field presence.** When you `select=DOI,title,author`, a record that has no author still omits the `author` key — it doesn't return `author: []`. Always use `.get()`.
-
-- **Cursor pagination required for >10,000 results.** Offset pagination (`offset=`) is limited to around 10,000 results. For bulk sweeps, use `cursor=*` for the first page, then URL-encode the returned `next-cursor` value with `urllib.parse.quote()`. The cursor expires if unused for too long.
-
-- **`rows` max is 1000 per call.** Requesting more silently returns 1000. For cursor-based sweeps of large result sets (millions of records), `rows=1000` with cursor is the most efficient approach.
-
-- **HTML entities in titles.** Titles may contain HTML entities like `&amp;` — `"Deep learning &amp; convolutional networks"`. Decode with `html.unescape()` if needed.
-
-- **`funder` search `works-count` field is `None`.** The funder search result object has a `works-count` key that is always `None` in the search response. To get actual work counts for a funder, fetch the funder directly: `GET /funders/{id}`.
-
-- **`subject` is often an empty list.** The `subject` field in works is populated inconsistently — many journal articles have `subject: []` even for well-indexed journals like Nature.
-
-- **Affiliation is usually empty.** `author[i]['affiliation']` is `[]` for the majority of records, even for papers published in 2024. CrossRef has been working on affiliation deposit, but coverage is inconsistent.
+# CrossRef — Scraping & Data Extraction
+
+`https://api.crossref.org` — scholarly DOI and citation metadata. **Never use the browser for CrossRef.** Completely free, no auth required. All workflows use `http_get`.
+
+## Do this first
+
+**Always add `mailto=your@email.com` to every request** — it moves you into the polite pool, which doubles the rate limit and concurrency allowance. The difference is measurable and the cost is zero.

+### Date object structure
+
+```python
+# All date fields share this structure:
+date_obj = {
+    "date-parts": [[2021, 7, 15]],  # [[year, month, day]] — month/day may be absent
+    "date-time": "2021-07-15T00:00:00Z",  # not always present
+    "timestamp": 1626307200000               # not always present
+}
+
+# Safe extraction (handles [[2021]] or [[2021, 7]] partial dates):
+def parse_date(d):
+    if not d: return None
+    parts = (d.get('date-parts') or [[]])[0]
+    return '-'.join(str(p) for p in parts if p is not None)
+```
+
+### Type identifiers (filter param values vs facet display names)
+
+Use these exact strings in `filter=type:...`. The facet `type-name` values are display names only.
+
+| filter `type:` value | Facet display name | Count (all CrossRef) |

+| `book-chapter` | Chapter | 24,359,059 |
+| `proceedings-article` | Conference Paper | 9,744,754 |
+| `dataset` | Dataset | 3,424,142 |
+| `posted-content` | Posted Content (preprints) | 3,203,320 |
+| `dissertation` | Dissertation | 1,044,461 |
+| `peer-review` | Peer Review | 1,028,287 |
+| `report` | Report | 906,301 |
+| `book` | Book | 870,949 |
+| `monograph` | Monograph | 788,401 |

+|---|---|---|
+| `doi` | `doi:10.1038/nature12345` | Exact DOI match |
+| `type` | `type:journal-article` | See type table above for valid values |
+| `from-pub-date` | `from-pub-date:2024-01-01` | ISO date or `YYYY` |
+| `until-pub-date` | `until-pub-date:2024-12-31` | |
+| `from-index-date` | `from-index-date:2024-01-01` | When CrossRef indexed it |
+| `has-abstract` | `has-abstract:true` | Only works with deposited abstract |
+| `has-orcid` | `has-orcid:true` | At least one author has ORCID |
+| `has-full-text` | `has-full-text:true` | Has full-text link |
+| `has-references` | `has-references:true` | Has deposited reference list |
+| `is-update` | `is-update:true` | Corrections, retractions |
+| `issn` | `issn:0028-0836` | Filter by journal ISSN |

+
+## Rate limits
+
+CrossRef has two pools based on whether `mailto=` is present:
+
+| Pool | Triggered by | Rate limit | Concurrency |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| **polite** | `mailto=` param present | 10 req/s | 3 concurrent |
+| **public** | no `mailto=` | 5 req/s | 1 concurrent |
+
+Headers returned: `x-rate-limit-limit`, `x-rate-limit-interval`, `x-concurrency-limit`, `x-api-pool`.
+
+In practice with polite pool: 10 rapid sequential calls complete in ~2.7s (avg 0.27s/req) with no throttling. 5 parallel calls complete in ~0.3s. Stay at `max_workers=5` to respect the concurrency limit.
+
+No per-day or per-hour cap. If you exceed limits, responses slow or return HTTP 429. No ban. Add `time.sleep(0.1)` between calls for sustained bulk crawls.
+
+## Gotchas
+
+- **`mailto=` doubles your rate limit and concurrency.** Public pool: 5 req/s, concurrency=1. Polite pool: 10 req/s, concurrency=3. Always add `?mailto=your@email.com` to every request — confirmed by reading `x-api-pool` response header.
+
+- **`title`, `container-title`, `ISSN` are always lists, not strings.** Access with `title[0]`, `container-title[0]` etc. Do not rely on there being only one entry — `container-title` can have multiple values.
+
+- **Abstract contains JATS XML markup.** The `abstract` field is not plain text — it contains tags like `<jats:p>`, `<jats:italic>`, `<jats:sup>`. Strip with `re.sub(r'<[^>]+>', ' ', abstract)`. About 30-70% of works have an abstract at all; journal articles 2023 with `has-abstract:true` filter: 3,041,841 / ~5.5M total = ~55%.
+
+- **ORCID is a full URL, not just the ID.** `a['ORCID']` = `"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6169-6580"`. Strip with `.replace('https://orcid.org/', '')` to get the bare ID. `authenticated-orcid: false` means self-asserted (not verified via OAuth).
+
+- **`published` vs `published-print` vs `published-online`.** Online-first is common in journals — a paper may be online months before its print issue. `published` is CrossRef's best single date and equals `published-online` when both exist. For preprints (`posted-content` type), look for `posted` instead of `published-print` — it may only have `posted` and `published`. Partial dates like `[[2023]]` (year only) are valid — always use `parse_date()` to handle missing month/day.
+
+- **404 raises `HTTPError`, not a JSON error response.** An invalid DOI (e.g. `10.9999/doesnotexist`) raises `urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 404: Not Found`. Wrap `fetch_work()` in try/except for any untrusted DOI list.
+
+- **`volume` and `issue` are strings, not integers.** CrossRef stores them as strings — `"596"`, not `596`. Don't compare with `==` to an int.
+
+- **Filter type values are hyphenated lowercase, not the facet display names.** `filter=type:journal-article` works. `filter=type:journal article`, `filter=type:Journal Article`, and `filter=type:conference-paper` all return HTTP 400. Conference papers are `proceedings-article`.
+
+- **`select=` does not guarantee field presence.** When you `select=DOI,title,author`, a record that has no author still omits the `author` key — it doesn't return `author: []`. Always use `.get()`.
+
+- **Cursor pagination required for >10,000 results.** Offset pagination (`offset=`) is limited to around 10,000 results. For bulk sweeps, use `cursor=*` for the first page, then URL-encode the returned `next-cursor` value with `urllib.parse.quote()`. The cursor expires if unused for too long.
+
+- **`rows` max is 1000 per call.** Requesting more silently returns 1000. For cursor-based sweeps of large result sets (millions of records), `rows=1000` with cursor is the most efficient approach.
+
+- **HTML entities in titles.** Titles may contain HTML entities like `&amp;` — `"Deep learning &amp; convolutional networks"`. Decode with `html.unescape()` if needed.
+
+- **`funder` search `works-count` field is `None`.** The funder search result object has a `works-count` key that is always `None` in the search response. To get actual work counts for a funder, fetch the funder directly: `GET /funders/{id}`.
+
+- **`subject` is often an empty list.** The `subject` field in works is populated inconsistently — many journal articles have `subject: []` even for well-indexed journals like Nature.
+
+- **Affiliation is usually empty.** `author[i]['affiliation']` is `[]` for the majority of records, even for papers published in 2024. CrossRef has been working on affiliation deposit, but coverage is inconsistent.
