libfulltext

libfulltext is a python suite to aid with bulk-downloading open-access papers. Our aim is to allow to quickly determine a list of open-access papers from all journals and download their full text.

Setup

Before you can get going you need to install the required python packages (see requirements.txt) and setup the configuration with the required API keys for the publishers.

Configuration

For some publishers (like Elsevier) we absolutely require an API key. See getting your API keys for details.

Before starting to use libfulltext, you therefore need to place at least the following minimal configuration into the file ~/.config/libfulltext/config.yaml:

publishers:
  elsevier:
    apikey: "your_elsevier_api_key_here"

For a more complete guide to the configuration file, see doc/config.md.

Getting your API keys

• Elsevier:
  1. Get an Elsevier developer account
  2. Log in and create an API key.
