Searching for priority number using DOCDB format in OPS Published Services gives no results although the document exists in Espacenet. I am using following query: http://ops.epo.org/3.2/rest-services/published-data/priority/DOCDB/US.87563407.A1/biblio

Application/Priority numbers in DOCDB format will work only in OPS Family Service.

For more information about how to formulate EPODOC numbers see this FAQ.
