Fetches a SINGLE paper from the Semantic Scholar API based on a paper title. Parameters:
  • paper_title (str): The title of the paper to fetch.
  • fields (Optional[List[str]], optional): The fields to include in the response (default: :obj:None). If not provided defaults to [“title”, “abstract”, “authors”, “year”, “citationCount”, “publicationTypes”, “publicationDate”, “openAccessPdf”].
Returns: dict: The response data from the API or error information if the request fails.

​
fetch_paper_data_id

def fetch_paper_data_id(self, paper_id: str, fields: Optional[List[str]] = None):
Fetches a SINGLE paper from the Semantic Scholar API based on a paper ID. Parameters:
  • paper_id (str): The ID of the paper to fetch.
  • fields (Optional[List[str]], optional): The fields to include in the response (default: :obj:None). If not provided defaults to [“title”, “abstract”, “authors”, “year”, “citationCount”, “publicationTypes”, “publicationDate”, “openAccessPdf”].

fetch_bulk_paper_data

def fetch_bulk_paper_data(
    self,
    query: str,
    year: str = '2023-',
    fields: Optional[List[str]] = None
):
Fetches MULTIPLE papers at once from the Semantic Scholar API based on a related topic. Parameters:
  • query (str): The text query to match against the paper’s title and abstract.

The papers must also include the term “security” but exclude papers that contain the word “privacy”.
  • year (str, optional): The year filter for papers (default: :obj:"2023-").
  • fields (Optional[List[str]], optional): The fields to include in the response (default: :obj:None). If not provided defaults to [“title”, “url”, “publicationTypes”, “publicationDate”, “openAccessPdf”].
Returns: dict: The response data from the API or error information if the request fails.

    negative_paper_ids: List[str],
    fields: Optional[List[str]] = None,
    limit: int = 500,
    save_to_file: bool = False
):
Fetches recommended papers from the Semantic Scholar API based on the positive and negative paper IDs. Parameters:
  • positive_paper_ids (list): A list of paper IDs (as strings) that are positively correlated to the recommendation.
  • negative_paper_ids (list): A list of paper IDs (as strings) that are negatively correlated to the recommendation.
  • fields (Optional[List[str]], optional): The fields to include in the response (default: :obj:None). If not provided defaults to [“title”, “url”, “citationCount”, “authors”, “publicationTypes”, “publicationDate”, “openAccessPdf”].
  • limit (int, optional): The maximum number of recommended papers to return (default: :obj:500).
  • save_to_file (bool, optional): If True, saves the response data to a file (default: :obj:False).
Returns: dict: A dictionary containing recommended papers sorted by citation count.
