New York Times

The New York Times opened their online archives in September 2007.

Query number

NYT archives may present a URL in several formats, such as:

http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F00F12F8395A167493C0A8178AD85F438785F9&scp=1&sq=fortune+cookie

http://query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?_r=1&res=F00F12F8395A167493C0A8178AD85F438785F9&scp=1&sq=fortune+cookie

http://query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?_r=1&res=F00F12F8395A167493C0A8178AD85F438785F9

In each of these examples, F00F12F8395A167493C0A8178AD85F438785F9 is the query number.

A clean link consists of this URL:

http://query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?_r=1&res=

Plus the query number:

http://query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?_r=1&res=F00F12F8395A167493C0A8178AD85F438785F9

PDF

The NYT query system opens the pages as PDF, but the URL does not have a PDF extension. Thus, the format is not automatically recognized and will need to be explicitly set with |format=PDF.

Example

Used with {{cite news}}:

{{cite news |first=Fred |last=Ferreth |title=The Chinese Fortune Cookie Secret: It's Japanese |url=http://query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?_r=1&res=F00F12F8395A167493C0A8178AD85F438785F9 |format=PDF |work=[[The New York Times]] |date=1977-01-12 |accessdate=2008-01-16 }}

Shows as:

Ferreth, Fred (1977-01-12). "The Chinese Fortune Cookie Secret: It's Japanese" (PDF). The New York Times. Retrieved 2008-01-16. {{cite news}}: Cite has empty unknown parameter: |1= (help)
