Chemspider Search no longer works for UNIFI 1.9.4 and earlier - WKB293582

SYMPTOMS

• Chemspider Search is now broken in UNIFI 1.9.4 and earlier

ENVIRONMENT

• UNIFI 1.9.4 and earlier

CAUSE

• CRI-7628 - The Royal Society of Chemistry has stopped providing these Chemspider sites for the insecure legacy API search (http)

http://www.chemspider.com/MassSpecAPI.asmx
http://www.chemspider.com/Search.asmx
http://www.chemspider.com/synonyms.asmx

Urgent: UNIFI 1.9.4 product line connects to the Chemspider database via older/deprecated API services owned by the RSC (third-party vendor). This service ceased in December 2024.

UNIFI 1.9.4 screening customers are strongly recommended to upgrade to waters_connect at their earliest convenience

waters_connect uses newer, more secure (https) and reliable API RSC services for the Chemspider database.
