DataCite GraphQL API
The DataCite GraphQL API provides a flexible query interface for retrieving DOI metadata and the broader research knowledge graph. It exposes the full DataCite metadata model through a typed schema, enabling clients to request precisely the fields they need across a wide range of scholarly resource types — including datasets, journal articles, preprints, books, dissertations, software, workflows, instruments, and more. The API supports traversal of relationships between works, persons, organizations, funders, repositories, and DataCite member institutions, making it well suited for building citation graphs, discovery tools, and research analytics applications.
