Dimensions Analytics API

The Dimensions Analytics API provides programmatic access to the Dimensions research data platform via the Dimensions Search Language (DSL). It supports queries against publications, grants, patents, clinical trials, datasets, organizations, and researchers. Authentication uses an API key exchanged for a JWT token via POST to /api/auth, with query requests sent to /api/dsl/v2 carrying the JWT in the Authorization header. The API is subscription-only and rate limited to 30 requests per IP per minute.
