paper-fetch

Download scientific paper PDFs by DOI or title

Downloads scientific paper PDFs from a DOI, title, or batch list using a seven-source fallback chain across Unpaywall, Semantic Scholar, arXiv, PubMed Central, bioRxiv, publishers, and Sci-Hub. Eliminates manual searching, broken links, and inconsistent filenames by auto-naming every file with author, year, and journal. Supports bulk downloads, safe retries, and structured JSON output so research workflows run faster with zero dependencies.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQPage Schema
How to install paper-fetch?▼

Run `npx skills add Agents365-ai/paper-fetch --all -g -y` in your terminal to install the skill globally for your agent.

How to download a paper PDF by DOI?▼

Just ask your agent to fetch the DOI, or run the fetch script directly. It tries seven sources in order and saves a cleanly named PDF to your chosen folder.

Can paper-fetch find a PDF from only a title?▼

Yes. It resolves titles to DOIs through Crossref and Semantic Scholar, then downloads the PDF through the same fallback chain.

Does paper-fetch support batch downloads?▼

Yes. Pass a text file of DOIs or pipe them via stdin, and use an idempotency key to safely retry without re-downloading finished items.

Does paper-fetch work with Claude Code and other agents?▼

Yes. It follows the universal SKILL.md standard and runs in Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, Cursor, and any compatible agent host.
