PyEuropePMC

PyEuropePMC is a Python client for Europe PMC. It searches the literature, downloads open-access full text, and parses JATS XML into metadata, plain text and structured sections. It also ships a command-line tool and an MCP server for AI agents.

  • Ten more sources in one search, with duplicates merged: PubMed, arXiv, ClinicalTrials.gov, OpenAlex, Semantic Scholar, CORE, DBLP, DOAJ, HAL and Zenodo. Semantic Scholar needs the semanticscholar extra and CORE an API key. Multi-source search
  • Full text: XML (Europe PMC first, then other open sources), PDF and HTML, plus bulk PDF downloads from the Europe PMC FTP site. Full-text retrieval
  • JATS XML parsing: metadata, authors, tables, figures and references; plain text and Markdown; typed sections for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG); JATS normalization and BioC export. XML parsing, JATS normalization
  • Text-mining annotations for genes, diseases, chemicals and their relationships. Examples
  • Citations and metadata: walk citation graphs, and enrich records from Crossref, Unpaywall, OpenAlex, Semantic Scholar, DataCite, ORCID, ROR and iCite. Citation walking, Enrichment
  • Analysis: pandas DataFrames, citation statistics, duplicate detection, plots, and PRISMA-style search logs for systematic reviews. Analytics, Review tracking
  • RDF knowledge graphs from parsed articles, mapped by the rdfmap.yml that ships with the package; pass RDFMapper(configpath=...) or PipelineConfig(rdfconfigpath=...) to use your own. Data models and RDF
  • A command line and an MCP server, described below.
