'/vendor/autoload.php'; # LibKey API identifiers. $libkey_apikey = 'xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx'; $libkey_id = 'xxx'; $config = new Config(); $config->setUserAgent('MyApp/1.1 (https://mylibrary.college.edu/search; mailto:myapp.admin@cikkege.edu)') ->setFindByCitationMinLength(50); $finder = FullTextFinder::build($libkey_id, $libkey_apikey, $config); $response = $finder->find('Ben-Harush, A., Ezra-Shiovitz, S., Doron, I., Alon, S., Leibovitz, A., et al.

For User-Agent requirements, see [the Crossref API docs](https://github.com/CrossRef/rest-api-doc#meta). If the User-Agent is not set appropriately or is set to `null`, Crossref requests will be made in the public API pool.`null``FindByCitationMinLength`The minimum length of a search string in characters before find-by-citation will be applied. Searches under this length will look for a DOI in the string but will not query Crossref if a DOI is not found.20Running tests ============= [](#running-tests) [PHPUnit](https://phpunit.de/) is used for testing.
