I'm trying to create an application that lists research article entries from Scopus between two set dates (and does things with them - irrelevant for the current question). As I understand it, there is a "date" param that can be added to the search address for the Scopus API, but that can only be used for years (?). Every entry in Scopus however comes with a coverDate, which includes month and day. However, I am unable to work out how to restrict results to a specified coverDate period.

Of course, I can always retrieve all entries from the years that the period covers and then do the filtering in the app. However, that generates a lot of redundancy, so would be good to not use that work-around.

Have tried different Y-m-d formats for the &date param without success, as well as the pubyear query. I have now also tried to add PUBDATETXT() to the query, where I add several months (March+2022+OR+April+2022 etc), but Scopus interprets that as journals that have several of the dates as their coverdate.

Try something like:

?query=ISSN(2376-6662) OR ISSN(2330-5517) AND PUBYEAR > 2018 AND PUBYEAR < 2023
