How this service works
Resolve a DOI to authoritative bibliographic metadata via Crossref. Accepts bare DOI (10.1038/nature12373) or full DOI URL (https://doi.org/10.1038/nature12373). Returns work type, title, container (journal/conference), publisher, issued/published dates, abstract, authors (with ORCID + affiliations), page range, volume/issue, ISBN + ISSN lists, canonical URL, reference + citation counts, license blocks, and subject classifications. ~160M works in Crossref. Best authoritative DOI → bibliographic resolver. Metadata is CC0.
Output
A structured record containing the work type, title, container name (journal or conference), publisher, issued and published dates, abstract, author list with ORCID IDs and institutional affiliations, page range, volume and issue numbers, ISBN and ISSN lists, canonical DOI URL, reference count, citation count, license blocks, and subject classifications — sourced from Crossref's index of ~160 million works under CC0 license.
Example use cases
Example prompt
“Can you look up the full bibliographic details for this DOI — 10.1038/nature12373 — including the title, authors with their affiliations, journal name, publisher, publication date, and abstract?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://2s.io/api/paper/doi-lookupWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you have a known DOI and need authoritative, structured bibliographic metadata including authors, affiliations, ORCIDs, abstract, citation counts, and licensing. It covers ~160M works via Crossref — the canonical registry for academic DOIs. Prefer this over general web search when you need machine-readable citation data, or over PubMed when the paper is outside the biomedical domain.
Side effects
- DOI not found in Crossref index (404) — DOI may be valid but not registered with Crossref
- Malformed DOI input — bare DOI or full URL must be syntactically valid
- Crossref upstream unavailable — transient 5xx error
- Payment failure — x402 micropayment not processed correctly
- DOI exists but metadata is incomplete — some older records may lack abstract or author ORCID
