Changes Coming to the BHL Data Exports Files on 10 April 2019

On 10 April 2019, we will implement additions and changes to the export files available from the Biodiversity Heritage Library.

The updates involve the following:

  1. A new set of exports will be created alongside the existing exports. The new set will contain only data for material that is hosted by BHL. No externally-hosted content will be included in these files. Because these files are added in addition to the existing export files, no existing users should be affected.
  2. The BHL author Identifiers will be added to the creator.txt and partcreator.txt tab-delimited files. The format of these files will change to accommodate the additional data; the author identifier will now be the second “column” in each file. Because of this, anyone regularly harvesting from these files may be affected.

Notice: Changes Coming to BHL API Methods on February 27, 2017

Effective February 27, 2017, the API methods GetPartEndNote and GetTitleEndNote will be removed. In addition, the BHL data exports that used the related format have already been removed. The removed BHL API methods and data exports will soon be replaced by methods and exports that use the RIS format, which is supported by a wider range of bibliographic reference managers. Thank you for your patience as we work to implement the RIS-based exports and API methods. If you have any questions, please submit them via our feedback form. You can learn more about our developer tools and APIs here.
