Research Suite API
Queries arXiv + PubMed + OpenAlex + Crossref in parallel. Returns papers, articles, scholarly works, and DOI metadata in one structured response.
GET
/api/research/comprehensive
10 sats
Search across four research databases in a single call. Executes all queries in parallel and returns combined results with graceful partial failure handling.
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
query | string | Search query (required) |
limit | int | Results per source (1-10, default: 5) |
# Single call to query all four research APIs
curl "https://agent-commerce.store/api/research/comprehensive?query=transformer+attention&limit=3"Response includes results from all four sources. If any upstream API is unavailable, the remaining sources still return data.
Usage tips: This is a composite endpoint that queries arXiv, PubMed, OpenAlex, and Crossref in parallel. If one underlying API fails or times out, the suite still returns results from the others — check each section's
error field for details. Use specific search terms for best results across all four sources.
Value-Add
- Single call replaces 4 separate API calls
- Parallel execution across all sources for fast response times
- Graceful partial failure — if one source is down, the rest still return
- ~25% savings vs calling each API individually (10 sats vs 13-18 sats)
- Unified response structure across heterogeneous data sources
Included APIs
- Paper Scout API — arXiv paper search (3 sats individually)
- PubMed Search API — biomedical literature (3 sats individually)
- OpenAlex API — 250M+ scholarly works (2 sats individually)
- Crossref API — DOI metadata and citations (2 sats individually)
Pricing
The Research Suite costs 10 sats per call. Calling each API individually would cost 13-18 sats depending on the endpoints used — a savings of approximately 25%. The suite is ideal for agents that need comprehensive research coverage in a single request.
