SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires requests, openai, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Identify and fetch real-time research information by routing queries to the appropriate backend.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automatic backend routing between Parallel Chat API and Perplexity OpenRouter to deliver comprehensive literature reports with inline citations.
  • Support for both general research questions and academic paper searches, including batch processing.
  • Citations and sources extraction with structured formatting for easy reuse in papers and reports.

Quick Start

Enter a research query like "latest CRISPR gene editing breakthroughs" to retrieve current literature and citations using the dual-backend routing system.

Frequently Asked Questions about research-lookup

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I fetch real-time academic literature with inline citations?▼

To fetch real-time academic literature with inline citations, submit a research query to trigger automatic backend routing, which returns structured results complete with extracted sources for easy reuse.

How does dual-backend routing optimize research lookup results?▼

Dual-backend routing optimizes research lookup by dynamically directing queries between Parallel Chat API and Perplexity OpenRouter, ensuring comprehensive literature reports and background research coverage.

Do I need an API key to perform batch academic paper searches?▼

Yes, you need at least one API key, either PARALLEL_API_KEY or OPENROUTER_API_KEY, to perform batch academic paper searches and execute the automatic backend selection process.

Can I use OpenRouter to verify academic literature and extract sources?▼

Yes, you can use OpenRouter to verify academic literature and extract sources, as the system supports automatic backend routing to Perplexity OpenRouter for delivering structured formatting and citations.

What are the limitations of automatic backend selection for science and technology research?▼

The primary limitation of automatic backend selection for science and technology research is the strict dependency on having a valid PARALLEL_API_KEY or OPENROUTER_API_KEY, without which the query routing and fetching process will fail.
