You might want to look at the ScienceDirect APIs:

[CODE4LIB] sciencedirect query urls

[Karlsen, Jeffrey]

I'm having trouble finding a way to make a search box that sends users' queries 
to ScienceDirect. Anyone know if this is possible? The closest I can get is 
[insert your proxy]
http://sciencedirect.com/science/quicksearch?query=[query  terms here]

But I'm unable to e.g. limit to just journals rather than all SD content, limit 
to subscribed journals, etc. If you look at the URLs on their site, it's clear 
they're not using GET for the queries so I can't just copy-paste.

Anyone know if there's a trick to it?
