BioRxiv Get Preprint

Overview

Get full metadata for a specific bioRxiv or medRxiv preprint by its DOI. Returns comprehensive metadata including title, authors, abstract, publication date, version, category, corresponding author, funding information, and URLs (HTML, PDF, XML). Response time: <1 second. Use when you have a bioRxiv DOI (format: 10.1101/YYYY.MM.DD.XXXXXX). To SEARCH for preprints by keywords, use EuropePMC_search_articles with 'SRC:PPR' filter (fast, relevance-ranked), or web_search with 'site:biorxiv.org'. bioRxiv API does not support text search.
