citation-crawler

Asynchronous high-concurrency citation crawler, use with caution!

异步高并发引文数据爬虫，慎用

Only support Semantic Scholar currently.

目前支持从Semantic Scholar上爬references和citations

Crawl papers based on BFS(Breath First Search) from the citation network and connect them into an undirected graph. Each edge is a paper, each node is an author.

基于广度优先搜索爬引文数据并将其组织为无向图。图的节点是文章，边是引用关系

Neo4J output compatible with dblp-crawler

Neo4J形式的输出和dblp-crawler兼容，可以自动识别相同paper不产生重复节点，并可以匹配数据库中已记录的作者，从而为新加入数据库的paper连接作者

pip install citation-crawler

Config environment variables

• CITATION_CRAWLER_MAX_CACHE_DAYS_AUTHORS:

  • save cache for a reference page (to get references of a published paper) for how many days
  • default: -1 (cache forever, since references of a paper are not likely to change)
• CITATION_CRAWLER_MAX_CACHE_DAYS_CITATIONS
  • save cache for a citation page (to get citations of a published paper) for how many days
  • default: 7 (citations of a paper may change frequently)
• CITATION_CRAWLER_MAX_CACHE_DAYS_PAPER
  • save cache for a paper detail page (to get details of a paper) for how many days
  • default: -1 (cache forever, since detailed information of a published paper are not likely to change)

Write to a Neo4J database

docker pull neo4j
docker run --rm -it -p 7474:7474 -p 7687:7687 -v $(pwd)save/neo4j:/data -e NEO4J_AUTH=none neo4j

e.g. write to neo4j://localhost:7687:

python -m dblp_crawler -k video -k edge -p 27d5dc70280c8628f181a7f8881912025f808256 neo4j --uri neo4j://localhost:7687
