Paper Search With Citation

Academic Search API Usage Guide

Overview

This skill provides comprehensive usage instructions for the Academic Paper Search and BibTeX Generation API, which supports Semantic Scholar API with advanced multi-API key and proxy management. The API offers endpoints for searching papers, retrieving BibTeX citations from DOIs, and monitoring API manager statistics.

When to Use

• Searching academic papers using keywords with optional year filtering
• Retrieving BibTeX citations for papers using DOI
• Checking API health and manager statistics
• Monitoring API key and proxy configuration status
• Checking API key keep-alive task status
• Manually triggering keep-alive checks for idle API keys
• Formatting API responses using jq

7. Formatted Output (Using jq)

If jq is installed, you can use it to format JSON output:

# Search and format output
curl "http://localhost:8111/search?query=attention&limit=2" | jq .

# Show only paper titles
curl "http://localhost:8111/search?query=attention&limit=3" | jq -r '.papers[].title'

# Get BibTeX and save to file
curl "http://localhost:8111/bibtex/10.48550/arXiv.1706.03762" | jq -r '.bibtex' > paper.bib
