Funder data via the API

Funding data can be accessed via the Crossref REST API. The API is openly available and there is no requirement to register or be a Crossref member. 

Useful Queries

• All funders listed in the Open Funder Registry: http://api.crossref.org/funders
• Find the funder ID for a specific funding body: http://api.crossref.org/funders?query={name}. E.g. http://api.crossref.org/funders?query=wellcome
• List of DOIs associated with a specific funder: http://api.crossref.org/funders/{funder ID}/works. E.g. http://api.crossref.org/funders/100004440/works
• Metatadata for DOIs that cite a specific award/grant number: http://api.crossref.org/works?filter=award.number:{grant number}. E.g. http://api.crossref.org/works?filter=award.number:CBET-0756451

See the REST API documentation for detailed instructions on constructing further API queries.

Funder IDs are DOIs that share a common prefix. For the purposes of querying the API, only the long number at the end of the DOI (the suffix) should be used.
