Using the Library

The library offers funtions to query dblp.org for publications, authors, and venues. They return lists of the respective objects.

For some publications, authors, or venues, not all possible attributes are avaible. In these cases, they are set to an empty string.

You can limit the number of results you want to get with the argument max_results=X. This is set by default to 100.
