aminer

AMiner

Use nong aminer for deterministic AMiner API access. Keep nong lit for OpenAlex/Crossref/Unpaywall metadata and OA lookup; use nong aminer when the task explicitly needs AMiner's scholar, paper, patent, organization, venue, or paid detail surfaces.

Do not scrape the AMiner website, hide paid API costs, or pretend the free endpoints provide the same depth as the paid ones.

Dispatch

For credentials, paid/free boundaries, and command-family routing, read references/api-contract.md.

1. For free scholar lookup, start with nong aminer scholar --name <name> --ingest --json.
2. For free paper title lookup, run nong aminer paper --title <title> --ingest --json.

4. For patent, organization, or venue discovery, use nong aminer patent, nong aminer org, or nong aminer venue.
5. For batch paper lookup by IDs, use nong aminer paper-info --ids <id1> <id2> --json.
6. For patent detail by ID, use nong aminer patent-info <id> --json (free) or nong aminer patent-detail <id> --json (paid).
7. For paid paper exploration, route by intent:
   • nong aminer paper-pro for multi-field paper search
   • nong aminer paper-detail for full paper details by ID
   • nong aminer paper-qa for semantic question-style paper search
   • nong aminer paper-citations for paper citation graph
   • nong aminer deep-research for long-form streaming answer generation
8. For scholar profiles, route by depth:
   • nong aminer scholar-detail for the full profile
   • nong aminer scholar-figure for research portrait
   • nong aminer scholar-stat for summary metrics
   • nong aminer scholar-papers, nong aminer scholar-patents, nong aminer scholar-projects for portfolios
9. For organization or patent deep dives, use nong aminer org-detail, nong aminer org-patents, or nong aminer patent-detail.
10. Run nong aminer <command> --help before paid commands if exact option names matter for the current task.

Contract

Always pass --json when the output feeds another tool or model decision. Treat AMiner output as API search evidence, not as peer review, advisor review, or ground-truth validation.
