The document introduces CrossRef's Prospect text and data mining (TDM) API, which aims to streamline the process of TDM across subscribed content. It outlines the key components of the Prospect API, including content negotiation, new metadata fields for full text URLs and license information, and optional rate limiting and click-through license verification. Publishers would register full text URLs and licenses, while researchers would use Prospect API tokens. The API is presented as a step towards enabling uniform TDM access across publishers through a common technical framework.
