Arxiv Search Integration

Open stepp1 opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

In response to #1269, I added an integration using the ArXiv unofficial SDK.

I don't think it's necessary to use the actual ArXiv API, as lukasschwab's wrapper seems active atm.

Any feedback on the string-like representation is welcome; see line.

Seems like the lint errors on langchain/utilities/arxiv_search.py:53:20 are due to the import try/except used to check if the SDK is installed.

@stepp1 btw it's also possible to get something similar with SearxSearch by passing the engines=['arxiv'] param

Thanks for the info. I'll give it a try.

If it works nicely, maybe we drop this and in favor of adding a notebook with some examples.

The issue is you have to pretty much use a self hosted instance of searx as the public ones don't offer API access. So I still think it would be nice to have this one as well.
