These endpoints resolve a DOI or PMID to full metadata: title, abstract, authors with affiliations, journal, retraction status, and editorial notices. Pair with tallies for citation data. Need an API key? On Pro, create one in the API Console. Creating a key doesn’t grant every optional scope; see Authentication for feature access. For higher limits or managed credentials, contact sales.

Author metadata

Look up an author’s publications and aggregated citation statistics by author slug:
author_slug isn’t something you construct from a name, it’s a Scite-generated identifier (name plus a random suffix, e.g. georg-kucsko-mvlovd). Get it from the authorSlug field on author objects returned by paper lookups or search results. An unrecognized slug returns 404 {"detail": "Slug not found"}.
