Search and retrieve life-sciences preprints from bioRxiv via API.
Professional tooling for the keyless bioRxiv API, designed for researchers in the life sciences. This skill allows for the discovery of pre-peer-reviewed research through keyword, author, and category searches.
Key Capabilities:
Operational Notes: Because the bioRxiv API lacks server-side keyword filtering for the details endpoint, this skill performs client-side filtering. It is highly recommended to use tight date ranges to maintain efficiency and respect API limits.
