Search modes — keyword & vector

Everything you need to search academic literature

Hybrid keyword + vector search

Search by exact keywords or semantic similarity across titles, abstracts, and keywords — pick whichever mode fits your query.

Full-text PDF search

Search inside the actual paper content, not just metadata, with highlighted matches showing exactly where a term appears.

Abstracts & metadata

Every result includes authors, year, journal, quartile, and abstract — everything you need without a second request.

PDFs & figures

Pull the original PDF or extracted figures directly from a result, so your app can show the source, not just a snippet.

Simple REST API

One GET endpoint, an API key in a header, JSON back. No SDK required, works from any language.

Works with the tools you already use
