curl -sf "https://www.ebi.ac.uk/europepmc/webservices/rest/search?query=GLP-1%20receptor%20agonists&resultType=lite&format=json&pageSize=5" | jq '.resultList.result // [] | .[] | {title, authorString, journalTitle, pubYear, pmid, doi}'
Start with Europe PMC -- indexes PubMed, PMC, bioRxiv/medRxiv, and patents in one API. Use resultType=core for abstracts. For AI paper summaries, add Semantic Scholar (requires API key in Keychain semantic-scholar-api-key). See references/europe-pmc.md and references/semantic-scholar.md.
curl -sf "https://www.ebi.ac.uk/europepmc/webservices/rest/search?query=semaglutide+obesity&resultType=core&format=json&pageSize=5" | jq '.resultList.result // [] | .[] | {title, pubYear, abstractText}'
Search ClinicalTrials.gov by condition, intervention, sponsor, or location. See references/clinical-trials.md for filters and field details.
curl -sf "https://clinicaltrials.gov/api/v2/studies?query.cond=obesity&query.intr=tirzepatide&filter.phase=PHASE3&pageSize=5&format=json" | jq '.studies // [] | .[] | {nctId: .protocolSection.identificationModule.nctId, title: .protocolSection.identificationModule.briefTitle, status: .protocolSection.statusModule.overallStatus}'
Look up by PMID, DOI, or title. Use Europe PMC (no auth) or Semantic Scholar (includes TLDR):
curl -sf "https://www.ebi.ac.uk/europepmc/webservices/rest/search?query=EXT_ID:12345678&resultType=core&format=json" | jq '.resultList.result[0] | {title, authorString, pubYear, abstractText, doi}'
Use OpenAlex for author profiles, h-index, institution output, and funder analysis. See references/openalex.md.
OA_KEY="${OPENALEX_API_KEY:-$(security find-generic-password -s "openalex-api-key" -w 2>/dev/null || true)}"
curl -sf "https://api.openalex.org/authors?search=Daniel+Drucker&per_page=5&api_key=${OA_KEY}" | jq '.results // [] | .[] | {name: .display_name, works_count, cited_by_count, h_index: .summary_stats.h_index}'
Find what cites a paper (Europe PMC, no auth) or get influential citations (Semantic Scholar):
curl -sf "https://www.ebi.ac.uk/europepmc/webservices/rest/MED/12345678/citations?format=json&pageSize=10" | jq '.citationList.citation // [] | .[] | {title, authorString, pubYear}'
