PubMed Articles Scraper

Search PubMed or fetch articles by PMID using NCBI E-utilities.

Use this actor when you need structured biomedical literature rows for biotech research, medical affairs, pharma competitive intelligence, systematic review prep, healthcare AI datasets, or RAG ingestion. It uses official NCBI E-utilities rather than browser scraping, so it stays lightweight and predictable.

What You Get

• PMID, PubMed URL, title, abstract, journal, ISSN, and publication date.
• DOI, authors, publication types, and MeSH terms.
• Clean rows for literature reviews, RAG ingestion, biotech research, and medical market intelligence.

Common Use Cases

• Monitor biomedical literature by disease, target, drug, device, or sponsor
• Build RAG datasets for medical research assistants and literature-review tools
• Enrich PMID lists with abstracts, MeSH terms, journals, DOI, and authors
• Track new papers in oncology, immunology, rare disease, medtech, or digital health
• Feed pharma market maps, KOL research, and competitive-intelligence dashboards

Example Input

{
  "queries": ["cancer immunotherapy"],
  "maxResultsPerQuery": 25,
  "sort": "pub date"
}

Output

Every article is saved to the default Apify dataset. Rows typically include pmid, pubmed_url, title, abstract, journal, issn, publication_date, doi, authors, publication_types, mesh_terms, query, and source metadata. Export the dataset to CSV/JSON, Google Sheets, warehouses, or AI-agent pipelines.

Pricing Recommendation

Launch as pay-per-event at roughly $2 per 1,000 article rows.

Responsible Use

PubMed data is public biomedical literature metadata, not medical advice. Verify important clinical or regulatory claims against the original article and official sources. Respect NCBI usage guidance and do not combine outputs with personal health information unless you have appropriate controls.

Automation Ideas

Schedule daily or weekly monitors for disease areas, drug classes, authors, journals, or PMIDs. AI agents can summarize abstracts, classify study types, extract MeSH themes, detect new literature in a target area, and route papers to analysts for review.
