Query Assignee API by Organization and Date Range

Hi,

I am attempting to build an API query for patents based on assignee organization and date range, however I am running into odd results.  If I set date filters they do not appear to be working and I am still getting patents outside the specified range:

https://www.patentsview.org/api/assignees/query?q={%22_and%22:[{%22_begins%22:{%22assignee_organization%22:%22Bank%20of%20America%22}},%20{%22_gte%22:{%22patent_date%22:%222018-01-01%22}},{%22_lte%22:{%22patent_date%22:%222019-12-31%22}}]}&f=[%22patent_number%22,%22patent_date%22,%22assignee_organization%22,%22assignee_id%22]

I tried taking one of the tutorial queries provided by the site and after adding the field list it also starts pulling in outside the date range:

https://www.patentsview.org/api/assignees/query?q={%22_and%22:[{%22patent_type%22:%22utility%22},{%22_text_any%22:{%22patent_title%22:%22Software%22}},%20{%22_gte%22:{%22patent_date%22:%221999-01-01%22}},{%22_lte%22:{%22patent_date%22:%222001-12-31%22}}]}&f=[%22patent_number%22,%22patent_date%22,%22assignee_organization%22,%22assignee_id%22]

Thanks for any assistance!

Cheers,

-JB

Patents View still doesn't appear to be returning data

Good Evening,

Has anyone been able to replicate?  I've tested via the Data Query on the PatentsView site regularly throughout the day and still no dice.  I also exercised it on multiple machines to confirm it wasn't machine/network problems on my end.

Any info would be much appreciated.

Cheers,

-John

me too

John,

I'm seeing odd things too, like that there is one patent issued in 2012: {"patent_year":"2012"}  Other years seem to work.  Your query gets results if you change data sources to source code.  I received an email saying that there was a data load on 12/17.  Perhaps an index or something got messed up?

Hi Russ, Unfortunately I…

Hi Russ,

Unfortunately I was using "data sources" because it was an actual patent in the data set I had previously been querying successfully .  I had been developing an Angular component for displaying patents based on the assignee organizations the client was interested in.  It was pretty much ready to go into test Thursday night and then Friday morning it was no longer returning results.  I thought it was something on my end until I tested the Data Query tool on the site and it couldn't return results on even a simple assignee organization query.

Hopefully we can get a response because this project task is dead in the water.

Cheers,

-John

Agreed

Right, I was trying to show that a similar query works so you aren't doing anything wrong.  I raised a git issue to try to get this fixed. https://github.com/CSSIP-AIR/PatentsView-API/issues/44

There is also a separate repo for the database.  I hope I raised the issue in the right place.

Hello John & Russ, Thank…

Hello John & Russ,

Thank you for bringing our attention to this issue. Due to server load the API has been unstable for last few days. This issue should be fixed now, can you please try some of the queries and let us know if you are still seeing errors?

Thanks!

Good Afternoon,

Initial testing look promising, thanks!  I will keep you appraised if I uncover any issues.

Again thanks for getting this resolved.

Patents View Response Time Very Slow

Good Evening,

I was conducting some final testing of our new Patents View Angular Component today before it moved into wider UAT and the calls began timing out.  I ran some additional tests using the PatentView web sites' Data Query tool and noticed it was also getting excessively long wait times on even simple queries.  In excess of 10 to 15 minute waits on single Patent# or Assignee Organization searches.   Is anyone else experiencing similar results?

Cheers,

-John

Just a heads up I did further testing today and the response times are back to normal.

Cheers,
