API Keys

In order to improve results and to avoid rate limiting, you can provide ab API key for Pubmed.

You can do this by adding the following lines to your configuration.py file::

PUBMED_API_KEY = 'your_pubmed_api_key'

You can obtain an API key by registering for an NCBI account and generating a key from the NCBI API Key Management page.

If no API key is provided, the plugin will still work but may be subject to stricter rate limits.
