It also serves curated ranking lists such as upcoming, trending, and most competitive conferences, plus site-level statistics. Each active conference carries cp_index, the Conference Partner Index: a 0-100 score with a per-factor breakdown and a confidence value. Search, ranking, and statistics calls work anonymously on a small daily quota, while per-venue and researcher detail calls need a free-account credential. ## For AI agents Search academic conferences and journals by keyword, field, CCF rank, and deadline window, browse ranking lists, and pull full venue or researcher detail from the Conference Partner dataset. ## Scope Does not submit papers, register attendees, or return full paper text or citation counts. Use for searching and ranking academic conferences and journals and reading their deadlines only. ## Capabilities - Search conferences by keyword, field, ccf_rank, core_rank, or qualis_rank and narrow by submission or conference date window - Browse ranked conference lists such as cfp, upcoming, trending, most_competitive, or cp_index without a search keyword - Find journals by keyword, ISSN, CCF rank, or research field, and browse journal lists such as highest_if - Pull full conference detail including CFP text, acceptance-rate history, and edition history by conference id - Retrieve a journal's full record or a researcher's public profile by id - Poll for changed venues with the updated_since filter to keep a local deadline tracker current ## Use cases ### Agent-run paper deadline tracker A research assistant agent connected through Jentic keeps a lab's submission calendar current. It calls the conference search with field set to ai or nlp, a ccf_rank filter, and a submission_date_start and submission_date_end window, then reruns the search with updated_since to catch deadline changes. The lab gets a short, ranked list of venues worth targeting without anyone checking CFP pages by hand. Example prompt: Call GET `/api/conferences` with field=ai, ccf_rank=a, submission_date_start=2026-12-01, and submission_date_end=2027-02-28, then list each conference's name, deadline, and detail_page link ### Choosing a venue by ranking Before submitting a paper, a researcher wants to compare venues by ranking rather than by keyword. The ranking-list endpoint returns pre-built lists such as ccf, core, qualis, cp_index, most_competitive, and trending, paged up to 100 entries per page. Paired with the CP-I score breakdown on each conference, it gives a reproducible shortlist instead of word-of-mouth advice. Example prompt: Call GET `/api/conferences/rankings/most_competitive` with per_page=20 and return the top entries with their ranks ### Journal shortlisting for a manuscript When a manuscript is better suited to a journal, an agent searches journals by research field and CCF rank, or browses the highest_if and cfp journal lists filtered to one field such as data or security. It then fetches each candidate's full record by id to compare scope and ratings before the author decides where to submit. Example prompt: Call GET `/api/journals/rankings/highest_if` with field=security, then call GET `/api/journals/{id}` for the first three results using a bearer credential ### Venue and researcher detail lookup For a deeper look at a single venue, the detail endpoints return CFP text, acceptance-rate history, edition history, structured ratings and comments, and related conferences or journals. The researcher endpoint returns a public profile by id. These calls require a free-account API key or a JWT from the login operation, sent as a bearer token. Example prompt: Call GET `/api/conferences/{id}` with a bearer credential and summarise the acceptance-rate history and the latest CFP text ## Key endpoints | Method | Path | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | GET | `/api/conferences` | Search academic conferences | | GET | `/api/conferences/rankings/{ranking}` | Browse conference lists and rankings | | GET | `/api/conferences/{id}` | Get full conference detail | | GET | `/api/journals` | Search academic journals | | GET | `/api/journals/rankings/{ranking}` | Browse journal lists and rankings | | GET | `/api/researchers/{id}` | Get a researcher's public profile | | POST | `/api/login` | Exchange email and password for a JWT | ## Key resources - **Conferences** — Academic conferences with CFPs, deadlines, locations, rankings, and cp_index scores - **Journals** — Academic journals searchable by keyword, ISSN, CCF rank, and field - **Ranking lists** — Curated conference and journal lists such as cfp, trending, and highest_if - **Researchers** — Public researcher profiles retrieved by id ## AI readiness This API is usable in Jentic One now. Its AI-readiness score against Jentic's framework shows where it stands today and where improvements would make it even easier for agents to use. - **Score:** 66 / 100 - **Maturity:** AI-Aware - **Dimensions:** - Foundational Compliance: 100 / 100 - Developer Experience & Jentic Compatibility: 64 / 100 - AI-Readiness & Agent Experience: 47 / 100 - Agent Usability: 94 / 100 - Security: 55 / 100 - AI Discoverability: 76 / 100 - **View full report:** https://jentic.com/apis/myhuiban.com/myhuiban/scorecard - **How the score is calculated:** https://docs.jentic.com/reference/api-readiness-framework/overview/ - **More about the dimensions:** https://docs.jentic.com/reference/api-readiness-framework/specification/#dimensional-model-overview ### Score it yourself Every API in the directory is allowlisted, so you can re-score it with no key required. - **Score your own API:** https://jentic.com/scorecard.md - **Scoring CLI agent skill:** https://github.com/jentic/jentic-api-scorecard/blob/main/skills/jentic-api-scorecard/SKILL.md ```sh npx @jentic/api-scorecard-cli score ``` ## Why Jentic - **Setup:** Wiring Conference Partner by hand means telling anonymous endpoints from credentialed ones, handling the bearer key or JWT login, setting a real User-Agent to get past Cloudflare, and reading the 429 and 402 quota responses. Through Jentic you install once, import it from the API Directory, store the key once, and your agent calls it. - **Permission scoping:** Every Conference Partner operation is a read except login, and the venue id sits in the URL path of the detail endpoints, so a rule can bound your agent to the search and ranking operations, or to detail reads under specific ids. You choose the operations it may call, so the login operation is not included unless you add it. - **Credential handling:** Your Conference Partner API key is stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected at execution time. It never enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context. - **Discovery method:** Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'find CCF A conference deadlines' or 'list trending conferences', and Jentic returns the matching Conference Partner operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs. ## Related APIs - **OpenAlex API** — Open index of scholarly works, authors, and venues with citation data - **Crossref REST API** — DOI metadata for published articles, journals, and proceedings - **Elsevier API** — Scopus and ScienceDirect data covering journals, citations, and serial titles ## FAQ ### What authentication does the Conference Partner API use? Per its OpenAPI spec, the conference search, journal search, ranking-list, and statistics endpoints need no credential, sharing a small anonymous daily quota per source IP. The conference, journal, and researcher detail endpoints require a bearer credential in the Authorization header: either an API key from your account (it starts with hb_) or a JWT returned by POST `/api/login.` The spec also declares an X-Paid-Access apiKey header for per-request payment, which it marks as not live. Through Jentic, the key is stored once by your own Jentic One instance and injected at call time. ### Can I search conferences by deadline and ranking with the Conference Partner API? Yes. GET `/api/conferences` accepts query, field, ccf_rank, core_rank, qualis_rank, submission_date_start, submission_date_end, conference_date_start, conference_date_end, and updated_since, with page and per_page for paging. The field parameter takes values such as ai, vision, nlp, security, and systems. ### What are the rate limits for the Conference Partner API? The spec describes daily quotas rather than per-second limits. Anonymous clients share a small daily quota per source IP and get HTTP 429 when it runs out, and a credential raises the quota, returning HTTP 402 when exhausted. Repeating an identical request on the same day does not use quota again. The spec does not state the exact numbers; see https://www.myhuiban.com/developers for current limits. ### Why does the Conference Partner API return a 403 with error code 1010? The site sits behind Cloudflare, whose Browser Integrity Check rejects some default script User-Agents, such as Python urllib's and Perl LWP's, before the request reaches the API. It is not an auth or quota error. Send a descriptive User-Agent that names your tool and a contact URL on every request. ### How do I build a deadline tracker with the Conference Partner API through Jentic? Install Jentic One with `curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh`, then import the Conference Partner API from the API Directory. Your agent searches for 'find academic conference deadlines', gets searchConferences with its input schema, and calls it with a field, a ccf_rank, and a submission date window. To run it on your own infrastructure, install Jentic One from its GitHub repo. ### Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Conference Partner API? Yes. For example, write a rule that allows only searchConferences and listConferences, so the agent can find and rank venues but never calls the detail endpoints that draw on your account quota, and never calls the login operation. Add getConference later if you want it to read full CFP text.
