Microsoft Academic Search is being retired

Open devinberg opened this issue 12 years ago • 6 comments

According to the email I just got, the Microsoft Academic Search API is going away. Any alternative options to keep this working?

I also got the email :( Bad news indeed. I'm looking into PubMed as a potential API source. There is something here http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK25501/ but the wall of text is not very easy to parse

I think arXiv API would suffice!

there is the new API, https://www.microsoft.com/cognitive-services/en-us/academic-knowledge-api/documentation/interpretmethod

Any news on this? I'm wondering if @karpathy could share the format of the db used, without having to reverse engineer it (currently the scripts are not working and there is no example of the db folder)... That would allow the usage of other tools with a wrapper, for example, https://github.com/ckreibich/scholar.py

@rogeriopaludo Just in case it's relevant, I had worked on this project as an undergrad couple of years back. It's a 2 part project:

  1. lib: https://github.com/arcolife/scholarec
  2. web client: https://github.com/arcolife/django-scholarec

I couldn't continue pt. 2 :/ ..but my point is, you could use 1. to query arxiv through python. This project was inspired from @karpathy's work.
