I have made an API key from Elsevier and I'm using Python to access the Scopus API to fetch records for physics papers in the UK via the following:
import requests
import json
from myscopus import MYAPIKEY
URL = "http://api.elsevier.com/content/search/scopus?query=\
"AFFIL%28university+AND+physics+AND+united+kingdom%29+\
"AND+SUBJAREA%28PHYS%29&field=affiliation"
header = {'Accept' : 'application/json',
'X-ELS-APIKey' : MYAPIKEY}
resp = requests.get(URL, headers=header)
results = resp.json()
print([[str(r['affiliation'])] for r in results['search-results']["entry"]])
I only want results which are PURELY affiliated with the UK (i.e. no authors can be from elsewhere). If I run the search manually on Scopus, I can do this by refining the results, excluding results for every other country other than the united kingdom. Is there a way I can do this in Python without loads of lines of code?
To do this manually on the site I had to select roughly 30-40 boxes for the country and then click 'exclude' which was rather time consuming:
