# Track New GLP-1 Obesity Drug Trials in PubMed

**Use case:** 

Searches PubMed for randomized controlled trials on GLP-1 receptor agonists, semaglutide and tirzepatide, newest first. Every row has the title, abstract, authors, journal, MeSH terms, DOI and PubMed link. Built for pharma and biotech teams, medical writers and analysts who follow the obesity drug market. Run it weekly to catch new trials.

### 2. Start the "Track New GLP-1 Obesity Drug Trials in PubMed" task

The PubMed Scraper Actor will start running based on the input automatically. You can also change all the input fields, like 🔬 scraping mode, 🔍 search query, and more, to match your specific use case.

### 3. Receive the "Track New GLP-1 Obesity Drug Trials in PubMed" output

Monitor the progress in real time. You will be notified as soon as your dataset is complete and ready for review. Each result includes data such as PMID, title, authors, and more.

### 4. Integrate into your workflow

The final output is delivered in JSON, CSV, or Excel format, ready to be plugged into your workflow. You can also [run the "Track New GLP-1 Obesity Drug Trials in PubMed" task via API](https://apify.com/labrat011/pubmed-scraper.md).

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [PubMed Scraper](https://apify.com/labrat011/pubmed-scraper.md) with a specific input configuration. Visit the [Actor detail page](https://apify.com/labrat011/pubmed-scraper.md) to learn more, explore other use cases, and run it yourself.


## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/labrat011/pubmed-scraper.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
