Evidence-backed facts

  1. Public GET searches use /api/search/articles/{search_query} and /api/search/journals/{search_query}. Journal reads use /api/journals/{journal_id}; article reads use /api/articles/{article_id}. Not every field is present in every record. informative
  2. Article GET accepts an optional api_key, which may also expose the caller's own non-public records. Application reads and searches require api_key, as do documented article/application writes. Public search grants none of those permissions. informative
  3. Search requires a path search_query and accepts page, pageSize and sort. pageSize defaults to 10 and is limited to 100. The guide's sort=field[:direction] supports asc or desc and defaults to asc. informative
  4. The guide documents two requests per second across API routes, not measured throughput. Wildcard, regular-expression, fuzzy and proximity searches are disabled. The .exact suffix is for full string field names, not short-name substitutions. informative
