Read-onlyIdempotent
Retrieve paper details—title, abstract, authors, citation counts—using S2 ID, DOI, ARXIV, or other identifiers. Optionally include lists of citing or referenced papers.
Instructions
Get paper details. Accepts: S2 ID, DOI:xxx, ARXIV:xxx, PMID:xxx, CorpusId:xxx
Returns title, abstract, authors, venue, year, citation counts, TLDR,
and open-access PDF link for one paper, e.g. paper_id='ARXIV:1706.03762'.
Set include_citations / include_references to also list citing and
referenced papers (fetched in parallel, 1-100 each). Results are cached
in memory for 5 minutes; an unknown ID raises a not-found error. Unkeyed
requests are throttled to 1 req/s (10 req/s with SEMANTIC_SCHOLAR_API_KEY)
and 429/502/503 responses retry automatically with backoff. Returns
Markdown by default, response_format='json' for raw JSON. To fetch many
papers at once use semantic_scholar_bulk_papers.
