oaworks.py β€” ShareYourPaper / OA.Works Permissions client for ResearchBee.
CONFIRMED against a live response on 2026-07-27:
GET https://api.oa.works/permissions/{doi}
No authentication required.
Design rule: THIS MODULE NEVER GUESSES.
No LLM is involved anywhere in this file. Every value returned was read from a
live response, or it is None. Absent fields are reported as absent, never
interpreted into a convenient default.
Confirmed response shape
------------------------
{
"best_permission": {...},
"all_permissions": [ {...}, ... ] # multiple versions, ranked by "score"
}
Each permission object:
can_archive bool
version "submittedVersion" | "acceptedVersion" | "publishedVersion"
licence "cc-by-nc" | ... (absent on some records)
licences [{"type": "cc-by-nc"}]
locations ["Institutional Repository", "Non-commercial Subject Repository"]
deposit_statement str <- exact wording the author must include; NEVER paraphrase
copyright_owner "journal" | "Publisher"
copyright_name str
issuer {id: [issn...], has_policy, parent_policy, type, journal_oa_type}
meta {monitoring, updated, added, ...}
provenance {archiving_policy: [...], author_rights, embargo, ...}
score int <- higher wins; journal-level outranks publisher-level
NOTE ON EMBARGO: the observed response carried NO embargo field. We therefore
report "not stated" rather than "none". Do not change this without evidence β€”
telling an author to deposit immediately when an embargo applies is exactly the
failure this module exists to prevent.
