Academic and scientific paper search API
Academic and scientific paper search API. Search research papers and scholarly literature across arXiv, PubMed, OpenAlex, Crossref, and Semantic Scholar in one call, deduplicated into a ranked result set: title, authors, year, venue, abstract, citation count, DOI, and direct PDF link. Query by keyword or restrict to one source; filter by year range; sort by relevance, recency, or citations. Keyless.
