Search and explore academic research using the Semantic Scholar API. Access over 214 million papers, 2.49 billion citations, and 79 million authors across all fields of science.
When a user asks about research or academic papers:
Identify what the user wants:
ALWAYS read references/api_reference.md before making API calls to ensure you use the correct endpoints and parameters.
IMPORTANT: Make ONE well-constructed search query. Do not make multiple API calls with variations of the same query. The API has rate limits, and multiple calls waste quota.
For topic searches, use the paper search endpoint:
https://api.semanticscholar.org/graph/v1/paper/search?query=YOUR_QUERY
Tips for effective single queries:
year, minCitationCount, or fieldsOfStudy to narrow resultstitle,authors,year,citationCount,abstract,tldrKey parameters:
query: Search terms (required)fields: Which data to return (see API reference)limit: Number of results (default 10, max 100)offset: For paginationFormat results clearly with:
Not applicable - this skill uses text-based search queries.
Semantic Scholar accepts multiple ID formats:
| Format | Example |
|---|---|
| Semantic Scholar ID | 649def34f8be52c8b66281af98ae884c09aef38b |
| DOI | DOI:10.18653/v1/N18-3011 |
| ArXiv | ARXIV:2106.15928 |
| ACL | ACL:W12-3903 |
| PubMed | PMID:19872477 |
| Corpus ID | CorpusId:215416146 |
ALWAYS read these before making API calls:

https://api.semanticscholar.org/graph/v1/paper/search?query=large+language+models&year=2023&fields=title,authors,year,citationCount,abstract&limit=10User asks: "What has Yann LeCun published recently?"
User asks: "What papers cite 'Attention Is All You Need'?"
User asks: "What does the research say about sleep and memory?"
fields parameter to get useful data backSearch recipes by ingredients, cuisine, or dietary needs. Get nutrition info, meal plans, and cooking instructions. Use when user asks about cooking, recipes, meals, or food.
Get current time in any timezone and convert times between locations. Use when user asks about time in different cities, timezone conversions, or scheduling across timezones.
