SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Academic research tasks like finding a scholar's full profile, tracing a paper's citation chain, or evaluating an institution's research output require calling many separate AMiner APIs in the right order. This Skill wraps all 28 AMiner Open Platform endpoints into 6 ready-made workflows plus direct single-API access, so you get structured academic data with one command. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Six Composite Workflows: Scholar profile analysis, paper deep dive with citation chains, organization research-strength analysis, venue paper monitoring by year, natural-language academic Q&A search, and patent search with details. - 28 Individual APIs: Direct access to every AMiner endpoint covering papers, scholars, organizations, venues, and patents, with per-call pricing documented. - Built-in Resilience: Automatic retries with exponential backoff, fallback routing (e.g., paper search degrades to pro search when no results), and traceable API call chains in every output. - Use Case: Ask "analyze Andrew Ng's academic profile" and the Skill runs scholar search, detail, figure, papers, patents, and projects APIs in sequence, returning one consolidated JSON report. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to look up a scholar, paper, institution, journal, or patent by name and provide your AMiner API token, for example: use AMiner to analyze the citation chain of the paper Attention Is All You Need.

Frequently Asked Questions about aminer-data-search

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I search academic papers with the AMiner API?▼

Use the paper_deep_dive workflow with a title or keyword to search papers, fetch full details, and retrieve citation lists. For natural language queries, the paper_qa workflow uses the AI-driven QA search endpoint with automatic fallback to pro search.

How to get a scholar's publications and patents from AMiner?▼

Run the scholar_profile workflow with the scholar's name. It chains person search, detail, figure, paper relation, patent relation, and project APIs into one consolidated JSON profile including research interests and funding.

Where do I get an AMiner Open Platform API token?▼

Log in to the AMiner console at open.aminer.cn/open/board?tab=control and generate an API token. The token is passed in the Authorization header and remains reusable during its validity period.

Does the AMiner API charge per request?▼

Yes, pricing varies by endpoint. Searches for papers, scholars, organizations, venues, and patents are free, while detail and relation endpoints cost between ¥0.01 and ¥3.00 per call, with scholar projects being the most expensive.

What happens when an AMiner API request fails or returns no results?▼

The client retries up to 3 times with exponential backoff for HTTP 408, 429, and 5xx errors. Workflows also degrade gracefully, for example paper search falls back to paper search pro when the title lookup returns nothing.

Can I analyze an institution's research output with AMiner?▼

Yes, the org_analysis workflow disambiguates the institution name to an ID, then pulls its details, scholar roster, paper list, and patent portfolio. It handles aliases and abbreviations through the organization disambiguation pro endpoint.
