Patentsview API and bulk data

Questions about using the Patentsview API or its bulk data should be tagged . patents.stackexchange might be a good place to ask general questions about patents. There is also a forum on the Patentsview website.

History

The beta version of the Patentsview API was made public in December 2015 as a joint project with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and several organizations, as listed on What Is Patentsview.

Original API Version

The urls for the API's endpoints have changed over time, as you may have noticed in older questions and answers. The current ones for the original version of the API can be seen on the Swagger UI page here.

New Version of the API

In 2021 the Patentsview Team announced upcoming API changes. One of the changes makes a new Swagger UI page available for the new version of the API. Another change requires that an API key is sent in a request header. API keys can be requested here. Please be careful not to share your API key when asking or answering an API question. The original version of the API and the new version will both run until at least the end of 2022, when the Patentsvew Team plans to shutdown the original version of the API.

Disambiguation

The Patentsview team tries to disambiguate inventors, assignees and locations, see PatentsView Project Disambiguation Algorithms.

Bulk Data

The Patentsview team makes their aggregated data available on their download page. They ingest data the US Patent Office makes available on their bulk data page. Note that the Patentsview online database and bulk files are updated roughly quarterly.

Python Wrapper

The Patentsview Team also wrote a python wrapper for the original version of the API that produces csv files. They also have a code snippets repo.

R Package

There is an R package for the current version of the API, written by Chris Baker. An updated package is being worked on for the new version of the API.
