Use in Code

The command line tool covers most of the use cases. If more customizations is desired, please refer to References for details about the utilities.

An Example

from kirsche.download import download_metadata
from kirsche.connect import (
    append_connections,
    save_connected_papers,
)

paper_ids = ["10.1523/JNEUROSCI.0095-07.2007"]

# download the metadata
papers_metadata = download_metadata(paper_ids)

# calculate the connections
papers_connections = append_connections(papers_metadata)

# save the connections to a file, e.g., save_paper_connections.json
save_connected_papers(papers_connections, target="save_paper_connections.json")

Loading from a bib file

If we have a bib file my_input_bib_file.bib, we can extract the ids using list_unique_ids

from kirsche.download import list_unique_ids

paper_ids = list_unique_ids("my_input_bib_file.bib")
