PubMed Scraper 🩺

Scrape biomedical literature from PubMed (the NCBI/NIH database of 37M+ citations). Search by keyword or fetch exact papers by PMID, and get clean structured records — including full abstracts.

Perfect for systematic / literature reviews, pharma & biotech intelligence, RAG / AI training datasets, meta-analyses, and researcher / KOL mapping.

What it extracts (one row per article)

  • pmid, title, abstract (with section labels)
  • authors, journal, published
  • doi, doi_url, pmc_id
  • mesh_terms, keywords, publication_types, language
  • url

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.

"pmc_id": "PMC10800000",
"mesh_terms": ["CRISPR-Cas Systems", "Neoplasms"],

Notes

  • Uses the official NCBI E-utilities API (esearch + efetch) — free, stable.
  • Respects NCBI rate limits automatically; add your API key for higher throughput.
  • No proxy required.
