PubMed Biomedical Article Search — Free

Search PubMed — the U.S. National Library of Medicine's database of 35M+ biomedical and life-science citations — by keyword and get clean, structured results: title, authors, journal, publication date, volume/issue/pages, DOI, PMID and article URL. Powered by the official NCBI E-utilities API.

This actor is free — you only pay for your own Apify platform usage.

What it does

Give it one or more search queries (PubMed syntax supported) and a per-query result limit; it returns one structured record per matching article, plus explicit not_found / error rows so nothing fails silently. Ideal for literature reviews, systematic-review pipelines, research monitoring and citation enrichment.

Input

Field	Type	Description
`queries`	array of strings	PubMed search terms (query syntax supported).
`maxResultsPerQuery`	integer	Top articles per query (1-50). Default `10`.

Output (example)

{
  "query": "crispr gene editing",
  "status": "found",
  "pmid": "42413101",
  "title": "CRISPR-Cas systems for genome editing ...",
  "authors": ["Doe J", "Smith A"],
  "journal": "Nature Biotechnology",
  "pubdate": "2025 Jun",
  "doi": "10.1038/s41587-025-xxxxx",
  "url": "https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42413101/"
}

Use cases

Automate literature reviews and research monitoring.
Build systematic-review or meta-analysis pipelines.
Enrich a reference manager with DOIs and metadata.
Track new publications on a topic on a schedule.

Limitations & fair use

Uses NCBI E-utilities with a proper User-Agent and polite throttling (≤3 requests/second, as recommended for unauthenticated use). Abstracts and full text are subject to publisher terms; this actor returns citation metadata. Please follow NCBI's usage guidelines.
