Hi

In Biblio data search you can only get biblio (aka all text on the first page of the patent document, including abstract, if available) but you have to chose constituent "biblio" otherwise you really only get a lost of numbers.

So, look for Published Data Keywords Search with Variable Constituents in API Console (see picture) for testing or just insert your query as you see it in this API into a programmer's tool like Postman, for example

Which other constituents are possible in adition to "biblio" is described OPS documentation on the website.

For full-text (description, claims) please first read post in Announcements of this forum so you know which full text collections we even offer and then do separate search using test API (Published data claims retrieval or Publish data description retrieval) or your tool. You will have to call numbers one by one in those services, you can not use the list as you get it in Biblio search without constituent.
