# UCSF Industry Documents Library Solr API

**Provider:** University of California, San Francisco — https://apis.io/providers/ucsf/

UCSF Industry Documents Library Solr API is one of 8 APIs that [University of California, San Francisco](https://apis.io/providers/ucsf/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. This API exposes 1 JSON Schema definition. Tagged areas include Digital Archive, Search, Solr, Litigation Documents, and Public Health. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, API documentation, a JSON-LD context, and 1 JSON Schema.

Public, unauthenticated Apache Solr query interface over the UCSF Industry Documents Library, an archive of 28,298,987 internal documents from the tobacco, drug, chemical, food, fossil fuel and opioid industries, produced in litigation and preserved by the UCSF Library Center for Knowledge Management. Documents are retrieved by eight-character ID or by Solr field query with AND / OR / NOT and explicit parentheses, and serialized as xml, json, python, ruby, php or csv. UCSF documents the interface in its "Industry Documents Data API v5" PDF. Two defects were confirmed on 2026-08-19: the documented `rows` parameter is accepted and echoed back but not honoured — the deployed page size is 1000 records, not the documented 100 — and the documentation page UCSF links to is now a client-side route in a single-page application that returns the same 200 shell for every path, so the authoritative PDF survives only in the Internet Archive. Verified live 2026-08-19.
