CORE Search Papers

Search for open access academic papers using CORE API. CORE aggregates OA repository and journal content; queries can match metadata and (for many records) indexed full text, but coverage varies by source. Use CORE_get_fulltext_snippets to search inside a returned PDF URL when exact body-text terms matter.
