When we submit data as a pending publication, how can we see that data? The API  
[https://api.crossref.org/works/${DOI}](https://api.crossref.org/works/$%7BDOI%7D) does not show it.

Hello @mklem ,

We do not currently index pending publication records in the REST API, but our product team is looking at adding these records to the REST API in the longer term. For now, once the publication moves from pending to their permanent record type (e.g., journal article), they will be indexed and appear in the REST API.

Warm regards,

Isaac

@mklem you can view pending publication records in our XML API, like this:

[https://doi.crossref.org/search/doi?pid=[email@email.com]&format=unixsd&doi=[DOI]](https://doi.crossref.org/search/doi?pid=%5Bemail@email.com%5D&format=unixsd&doi=%5BDOI%5D)
