The Data Set API (DSAPI) allows the public users to discover and search
USPTO exported data sets. This is a generic API that allows USPTO users to
make any CSV based data files searchable through API. With the help of GET
call, it returns the list of data fields that are searchable. With the help
of POST call, data can be fetched based on the filters on the field names.
Please note that POST call is used to search the actual data. The reason for
the POST call is that it allows users to specify any complex search criteria
without worry about the GET size limitations as well as encoding of the
input parameters.
