How can we integrate the new EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS) with WorldCat?
Applies to
- WorldCat Search API v2
- EBSCO Discovery Service
Answer
The EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS) utilizes the WorldCat Search API v2 to integrate WorldCat searching. This integration requires a new WSKey to be created. Existing WSKeys used previously will not work.
To request this, please download and fill out the Mutual Customer Access Authorization Form (EBSCO-EDS) and send the completed form to legal@oclc.org. Once processed, our Orders team will fulfill the order and provide the EDS WSKey to EBSCO on your behalf.
Because the key will be sent to EBSCO on your behalf, the API key will not be available for you to view in the OCLC Developer Network. After Orders has provided EBSCO with your WSKey, implementation will be handled by EBSCO, and it is EBSCO who should be contacted for any further questions.
