Search a single collection by name

Shorthand for POST /api/v1/search/query with the collection named in the path instead of the body. Same pipeline, same response shape, one collection per call — use /query's `collections` form to search several at once.

Authorization

BearerAuth

AuthorizationBearer <token>

API key authentication. Pass your key in the Authorization header as Bearer sk_live_.... An X-API-Key: sk_live_... header is also accepted as an alternative. Keys are created in the Redpine Connect dashboard under Settings > API Keys.

In: header

Path Parameters

collection*string

Name of the collection to search.

Request Body

application/json

TypeScript Definitions

Use the request body type in TypeScript.

Same knobs as SearchRequest minus collection/collections — the target collection is the path segment, so a collection key in the body is rejected.

filters?|

Optional metadata filter. Two accepted forms.

Flat (top-level keys are ANDed): {"journal": "Nature", "publication_date": {"gte": "2020-01-01"}}.

Structured DSL (for OR / nesting): {"and": [{"field": "journal", "eq": "Nature"}]}. Operators: eq, ne, in, not_in, gt, gte, lt, lte, between. Combinators: and, or, not.

Exclusion uses ne / not_in / not — there is no separate syntax: {"and": [{"field": "issn", "not_in": ["1234-5678"]}]}.

Indexed on every collection (any other field is matched by scanning and returns a filterWarnings entry): article_type, doc_id, doi, issn, journal, keywords, publication_date, publisher, section.

Indexed on the editorial collections only (People Inc): medical_board_approved, topic, url.

issn accepts hyphenated or bare, upper- or lower-case X ("1664-302X", "1664302x"). doi is matched case-insensitively and an optional https://doi.org/ or doi: prefix is accepted.

journal_metric.2yr_mean_citedness, journal_metric.h_index and journal_metric.i10_index accept range operators only and are resolved server-side into the matching ISSNs; see journalMetricExpansions in the response.
