Enhancement Fragment API

This represents search or retrieval of the enhancement fragments associated with a full text article. When utilizing a source or target document identifier, the result is metadata for all associated enhancement fragments. When using an enhancement fragment identifier, the result is the text of enhancement fragment itself. Each fragment will, by definition, link to an associated Full-Text article.



The following chart shows the Enhancement Fragment Views.

Methods
GET simple()

request
header params
Accept xsd:string
(required)
default: text/xml
options: text/xml, application/json
This represents the acceptable mime types for which the response can be generated.
Authorization xsd:string This header field contains the OAuth bearer access token in which the format of the field is "Bearer <token>" (where the token represents the end-user session key). The presence of a bearer token implies the request will be executed against user-based entitlements. The Authorization field overrides X-ELS-Authtoken.
X-ELS-APIKey xsd:string
(required)
This represents a unique application developer key providing access to API resources. This key can also be submitted as the query string parameter "apiKey"
X-ELS-Authtoken xsd:string This represents a end-user session. If provided, this token is used to validate the credentials needed to access content in this resource. This token can also be submitted through the HTTP header "Authorization" or the query string parameter "access_token".
X-ELS-Insttoken xsd:string This represents a institution token. If provided, this key (in combination with its associated APIKey) is used to establish the credentials needed to access content in this resource. This token can also be provided through the query string parameter "insttoken".
X-ELS-ReqId xsd:string This is a client-defined request identifier, which will be logged in all trace messages of the service. This identifier can be used to track a specific transaction in the service's message logs. It will also be returned as an HTTP header in the corresponding response. Note that this should be a unique identifier for the client, and used to track a single transaction.
X-ELS-ResourceVersion xsd:string
options: new
Represents the version of the resource that should be received. Note that submitting new always returns the latest response version.

query params
httpAccept xsd:string
options: text/xml, application/json
Override for HTTP header Accept, this represents the acceptable mime types for which the response can be generated.
access_token xsd:string Override for HTTP header Authorization, this contains the OAuth bearer access token, where the format of the field is "<token>" (where the token represents the end-user session key). The presence of a bearer token implies the request will be executed against user-based entitlements.
insttoken xsd:string Override for HTTP header X-ELS-Insttoken, this represents a institution token. If provided, this key (in combination with its associated APIKey) is used to establish the credentials needed to access content in this resource.

reqId xsd:string Override for HTTP header X-ELS-ReqId, this is a client-defined request identifier, which will be logged in all trace messages of the service. This identifier can be used to track a specific transaction in the service's message logs. Note that this should be a unique identifier for the client, and used to track a single transaction.
ver xsd:string
options: new
Override for HTTP header X-ELS-ResourceVersion, this represents the version of the resource that should be received.
