Deprecation of HathiTrust Data API
Date Effective: Wednesday, July 17, 2024
We have retired the HathiTrust Data API due to low usage and to address potential security concerns. The HathiTrust Data API allowed end users to retrieve some HathiTrust content programmatically. It was a tool built early in the history of HathiTrust Digital Library, long before other, more robust services like the HathiTrust Research Center or the Datasets Service. Over time, the use cases that the Data API had originally been built to meet were better served through other services.
Anyone who attempts to access either the Data API Web Client or access the Data API access point will encounter an error. Please review other service options, such as Research Datasets or the HathiTrust Research Center. Contact HathiTrust at support@hathitrust.org with questions.
