BioRxiv_list_recent_preprints tool specification

Tool Information:

  • Name: BioRxiv_list_recent_preprints

  • Type: BaseRESTTool

  • Description: List recent bioRxiv or medRxiv preprints by date range. Returns up to 100 preprints posted between the given start and end dates, with title, authors, abstract, DOI, category, and publication status. The bioRxiv API returns results in batches of up to 100; use the cursor parameter for pagination (0 for first page, 100 for second, etc.). Use this to monitor new preprints in a date range or discover recent work in a field. For searching by DOI, use BioRxiv_get_preprint instead. For searching by keywords, use EuropePMC_search_articles with ‘SRC:PPR’ filter.

Parameters:

  • start_date (string) (required) Start date in YYYY-MM-DD format (e.g., ‘2024-01-01’). Date range must not exceed 60 days.

  • end_date (string) (required) End date in YYYY-MM-DD format (e.g., ‘2024-01-03’). Date range must not exceed 60 days.

  • server (string) (optional) Server: ‘biorxiv’ for biology preprints, ‘medrxiv’ for health sciences preprints

  • cursor (integer) (optional) Pagination cursor (0 for first 100 results, 100 for next 100, etc.)

query = {
    "name": "BioRxiv_list_recent_preprints",
