Input
{"queries": ["CRISPR cancer therapy", "semaglutide[Title] AND 2024[PDAT]"],"pmids": ["38000000"],"maxItemsPerQuery": 300,"apiKey": ""}
- queries — full PubMed query syntax supported (
[Title],[Author],[MeSH],[PDAT], boolean AND/OR/NOT). - pmids — fetch exact records by PubMed ID.
- apiKey — optional NCBI key to raise the rate limit (3 → 10 req/s). Works fine without one.
