Creating a Web Link to the Entrez Databases Created: October 16, 2006 Updated: April 25, 2008 Creating a Web Link to the Entrez Databases This user guide provides instructions on creating a Web link or bookmark to PubMed and the other Entrez databases. Users intending to send frequent queries or retrieve large numbers of records from Entrez should use the Entrez Programming Utilities (E-Utilities). Users must comply with the User Requirements to prevent overloading NCBI systems. PubMed
NLM currently leases PubMed journal citations, at no charge. Retrieve PubMed CitationsBase URL: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed To retrieve results in HTML or text format use PubMed Unique Identifiers (PMID).
Example: Retrieve by PMID in AbstractPlus: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18276894,18276893 Retrieve by PMID in MEDLINE text format: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18276894,18276893?report=medline&format=text Search PubMed
Example: PubMed antioxidant chocolate citations http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?term=antioxidant+chocolate
Examples: PubMed: PubMed citations on AZT limited to the AIDS subset: To turn off PubMed Limits and search for hay fever displayed in the Citation format: PubMed citations for the Text Word p21 and MeSH term Humans in the LinkOut display format:
Base URL: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez To retrieve results in HTML or text format use unique identifiers (primary IDs). Use Search to retrieve by accession numbers.
Example: Gene Full Report for GeneIDs 40048 & 847 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?cmd=retrieve&db=gene&list_uids=40048,847&dopt=full_report
Example: Protein sequence records in text format for GIs 9367031, 729567, 586553 Use search to create a web link for terms with or without Boolean operators. “Escape” spaces by converting them to plus signs (+), e.g., Biochem Soc Trans should be Biochem+Soc+Trans. You may also use Details to generate a search URL. Base URL: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez
Example: Nucleotide records for COMT sequences in the Brief display: OMIM: Display the related records (neighbors) or Entrez links for records using the unique identifiers (primary IDs), you may not use accession numbers. Base URL: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?
Examples: Related Article citations for PubMed PMID 10495220: Nucleotide links from PubMed PMID 10492167: PubMed links from Nucleotide GI 47717105: A string with no internal spaces that identifies the resource that is using Entrez links. This argument is used to help NCBI provide better service to third parties generating Entrez queries from programs. As with any query system, it is sometimes possible to ask the same question different ways, with different effects on performance. NCBI requests that developers sending batch requests include a constant 'tool' argument for all requests using the utilities. Email AddressIf you choose to provide an email address we will use it to contact you if there are problems with your queries or if we are changing software interfaces that might specifically affect your requests. If you choose not to include an email address you can sign up for utilities-announce to receive general announcements.
