#semantic-scholar-client

This utility is able to fetch data from Semantic Scholar API.

Initial proof of concept here writes the result to stdout.

Work in progress to pipe this data into an operating database.

Usage

• (Optional) Copy .env.example to .env and set the value of SEMANTIC_SCHOLAR_API_KEY

• Run the program

  cargo run -- --paper-id <paper_id> --depth

• paper_id values are in accordance with Semantic Scholar API.

• depth is the number of citations to traverse, from the starting paper.

Notes

Ideas for followup work:

• Consider strategies for deciding where to terminate a given traversal
• Provide an HTTP/WebSocket interface that can be used to talk to this process during its operation. This can enable us to pipe the data to other tasks, to monitor, to start/stop, and even to make configuration changes.
• Rate limit requests
