Daily noncommercial usage limits raised for xISBN and xISSN

Based on feedback from OCLC Developer Network members, OCLC is pleased to announce that basic limits on all xIdentifier Web services have been increased to 1,000 queries per day. This increase is intended to facilitate easier use of the JSON-P format now in place, and is effective immediately. OCLC member libraries who also maintain an OCLC cataloguing subscription still remain eligible for higher usage limits at no charge. All other libraries and/or commercial organizations can select the subscription option that best meets their needs.

xID new features

We added a few new features to xID service: - xISSN now supports ISSN-L and RSSURL field, such as http://xissn.worldcat.org/webservices/xid/issn/1095-9203?method=getMetadata&fl=issnl,rssurl ISSN-L data is obtained from ISSN agency, and rssurl is obtained from ticTOCS. xISSN also adds values to both data set, for example, xISSN automatically adds RSSURL to all ISSNs in same group. - xOCLCNUM now supports OCLC workid, such as: http://xisbn.worldcat.org/webservices/xid/oclcnum/55847258?fl=owi And you can query by workid as well: http://xisbn.worldcat.org/webservices/xid/owi/owi718389 I highly recommend using "owi[0-9]" in its whole format when you came upon workid, this will be very helpful for identifying workid from any web pages and facilitates interoperability and mashup. For more information, please check xISSN and xOCLCNUM API.
