Responsible Use of API at Manuskrito

Promoting responsible access and usage of APIs and data by Manuskrito.

At Manuskrito, we prioritize the responsible use of APIs and data sourced from third-party providers to ensure a sustainable and ethical platform for academic research. Third party Application Programming Interface (API) is a critical tool that facilitates access by users to various academic resources and datasets on Manuskrito. However, to maintain the integrity of our service and the servers of our data providers, API access maybe limited to specific user plans.

Limited Access to API: Access to our API is tiered based on user plans to ensure that resources are allocated fairly and that server loads remain manageable. This limitation helps us prevent misuse and ensures all users can access the data they need without degrading service quality.

Respecting Server Access: Users must respect the limits set on API access. This includes adhering to the frequency and volume of data requests. Overloading the server can result in access restrictions not only for the individual user but potentially for others as well.

Data Sourced from Third-Party Providers: Manuskrito integrates data from a variety of third-party sources, including patents, clinical trials, trademarks, funding opportunities, and scholarships. We are committed to ensuring that all data used is sourced ethically and legally.

Maintaining Our Database: We continuously update and maintain our database to reflect accurate and current information from public domains. This includes systematic reviews and validations of the data we receive. Users are encouraged to verify the information they find on Manuskrito with original sources or through direct inquiries with the providers when necessary.

Guidelines for Users: To foster a responsible and respectful research environment, we encourage users to:

  • Utilize the search features efficiently to access the information they need.

  • Verify data obtained from Manuskrito against original sources.

  • Adhere to the API usage guidelines as outlined in their user plan.

  • Provide proper attribution to Manuskrito when using data in their research or publications.

By following these guidelines, users can help us maintain the integrity of Manuskrito and contribute to a collaborative and responsible academic community. Together, we can ensure that our platform remains a valuable resource for all.
