Biblio data missing for some documents that used to work in OPS

Post by jalipert » Wed Jan 05, 2022 10:24 pm

Hello,

We are getting 404 responses for some documents (not just recent ones) that used to work a few months ago in both the epodoc and docdb biblio endpoints.

For example,

US10918313B2

This one in particular was published on 2021-02-22 and we have a record of it being available in OPS in October of 2021, but currently returns a 404 error. Other documents published around the same time, e.g., US10918316B2 work fine.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
Joe

Hi Joe,

I think the issue is gap in biblio coverage in OPS : issues-with-biblio-in-ops-published-services-11872

Hi Vesna,

I don't think this one is in the gap. The link you sent shows US grants are up to date as of:
2021-12-21
US11206747B1

The document example I gave (US10918313B2) was published in February of 2021 and used to work in OPS several months ago.

Best,
Joe
