Does the xISSN documentation say that exceptions by non-OCLC members can
be asked for, and instruct on where to make the request? If you want to
keep from discouraging use accidentally by people who don't know they
can get an exception, it needs to say that on the same page that talks
about the 100/day limit, not just on the code4lib listserv.

It is worth following up on Xiaoming's statement of a limit of 100 uses per
day of the xISSN service with the information that exceptions to this limite
are certainly granted. Annette probably knows that just such an exception
was granted to her LibX project, and LibX remains the single largest user of
this service.

Annette's comment is correct. XISSN service allows 100 uses per day for
non-OCLC usage. I don't think xISSN's price proposal is ever approved, so we
don't have a price list for commercial usage.
XISSN's access control is sort of complex, for more details please check
http://xissn.worldcat.org/xissnadmin/doc/subscribe.htm , hopefully we can
clean it up in the future.

You can also purchase. I thought it was 500 usages a day. Xiaoming?

I think I have to say yes to this, although it isn't going to make us
look
great.

Roy,
Just to clarify, you have to be an OCLC cataloging member to use this
beyond 100 uses per day, correct?
Thanks,
Annette

This data (the Tic-Tocs RSS URLs) is also available via xISSN. For
example:
<http://xissn.worldcat.org/webservices/xid/issn/1095-

&format=xml&fl=*>
Look for the "rssurl" attribute. For information on xISSN see:

I guess the first question is if it is really necessary to use a
text
file? I'm not entirely clear on this process, but perhaps the text
file could be imported into a database.
At this point the text file is a stop-gap api that ticTOCs is
offering
(supposedly working an actual api), so this will probably be a
temporary
situation. I could put all the data into mysql, though then I'd have
to
figure out how to check the text file for changes and then update
the
database accordingly.
Then of course perhaps there's some way to add this to the Serials
Solution database directly? Then you don't need another javascript
at
all?
I'm so disillusioned with them, that I didn't even consider that...
cron + wget/curl would be a good first step it would seem. You
might
want some sort of script that monitors changes or the like. (Maybe
send you an email if there's no updates in x days or something like
that).
Thanks, I'll look into that.
