A python library that aims to retrieve data from Semantic Scholar API.
pip install semanticscholar
Programmatically access paper and author data. Can be used to access both the public API or the S2 Data Partner's API using a private key.
To access paper data:
>>> from semanticscholar import SemanticScholar
>>> sch = SemanticScholar(timeout=2)
>>> paper = sch.paper('10.1093/mind/lix.236.433')
>>> paper.keys()
dict_keys(['abstract', 'arxivId', 'authors', 'citationVelocity', 'citations', 'doi',
'influentialCitationCount', 'paperId', 'references', 'title', 'topics', 'url', 'venue', 'year'])
>>> paper['title']
'Computing Machinery and Intelligence'
>>> for author in paper['authors']:
... print(author['name'])
... print(author['authorId'])
...
'Alan M. Turing'
2262347
To access author data:
>>> from semanticscholar import SemanticScholar
>>> sch = SemanticScholar(timeout=2)
>>> author = sch.author(2262347)
>>> author.keys()
dict_keys(['aliases', 'authorId', 'citationVelocity', 'influentialCitationCount', 'name', 'papers', 'url'])
>>> author['name']
'Alan M. Turing'
>>> len(author['papers'])
77
If you are a Semantic Scholar Data Partner you can provide the private key as an optional argument:
>>> from semanticscholar import SemanticScholar
>>> s2_api_key = '40-CharacterPrivateKeyProvidedToPartners'
>>> sch = SemanticScholar(api_key=s2_api_key)
