• Ask HN: Is there any decent API to download a paper given its name?
  1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 5 Sep 2022

  I am developing a PDF viewer designed for reading research papers[1]. One very useful feature that I would like to add is the ability to directly download and open a paper just by clicking on its name in the PDF file. I have implemented a version of this using PyPaperBot [2] which is not bad, but it is not as fast as I would like it to be (it uses scihub which doesn't have the best servers).

  By parsing the html from google scholar, I wrote a python script that does this which was very fast and was working perfectly, however, after using it for a couple of minutes (maybe about 10-15 requests), I can no longer query google scholar using python requests (the returned html is a request for captcha). It appears that google disallows any programmatic use of google scholar (even though this was not spammy at all, the user has to manually click on a paper to send a request to google scholar).

  Anyway I was wondering if there is any decent and free API to get the url of a paper given its name, I have found a couple of paid ones but they are way too expensive.

  Hi! Recently we released sioyek 1.5 with the major new addition of extensions which I am pretty excited about.

  See this repository for a sample of what is possible: https://github.com/ahrm/sioyek-python-extensions . For example we have:

  * paper_downloader: download papers from google scholar or libgen just by control+clicking on their name (video: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/6392321/185757545-...)
