Mendeley API deleted_documents: "No service found for your request"


I'm developing an app that interacts with Mendeley API. Retrieving and updating documents work fine, but I fail to retrieve the ID list of deleted documents, as described in API Reference. Instead, I get 404-error, with the message:

{
"message": "No service found for your request"
}

Looks like this API is not implemented, even though listed in the Reference. Emailing Mendeley API team is of no help (I wrote to them about a different issue 3 months ago, they just don't answer). Anyone worked with that?


Solution

  • Ok, it seems they just don't update properly the info for developers. From the "Explore APIs" section on their site I have found that I should use "deleted_since" URL-parameter, rather than "deleted_documents", as stated in the "API Reference" section on the same site. The "deleted_since" works as expected.
