Need to search bioRxiv for preprints? This gives you Python tools to query the database by keywords, authors, date ranges, or subject categories, returning structured JSON with titles, abstracts, DOIs, and download links. You can pull PDFs directly too. It's straightforward for literature reviews or tracking specific researchers. The category filtering covers all the major life sciences areas from neuroscience to genomics. The API is clean enough to script batch operations, like downloading 50 papers matching your search criteria. Honestly just saves you from clicking around the bioRxiv website when you need to do systematic searches or pull metadata for citations.
