Welcome to the EDS API Console Application!

Make the most out of your custom discovery solution by connecting researchers to superior content and enhanced search features through the EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS) API.

The API allows you to integrate search results from journals and books from the academic publishers, magazines and leading research databases directly into your library or corporate website. The EDS API is easy to integrate, allows libraries to customize a user interface, and provides extensive documentation and support.

  • Login with your EBSCO username/password and profile by pressing the Login button

  • On selecting a method, you will be shown a form containing the input parameters for that method
  • Set any parameters you would like to add to your request
  • Press the Send button at the bottom of the form to call the EDS API
