LitSense-Wrapper

Python wrapper for the NCBI LitSense2 API. LitSense2 (an update of LitSense) is a NCBI/NLM system for sentence- and paragraph-level semantic search across PubMed abstracts and the PMC Open Access subset, returning the most relevant sentences or passages for a query. It is useful for rapid evidence attribution, biocuration, and comparing new findings with existing literature. Learn more on the NCBI LitSense2 page.

Installation

Usage

from litsense_wrapper import LitSense_API

engine = LitSense_API()
results = engine.retrieve(query_str='COVID-19 mechanism', limit=2)

    print(result.text)

Notes

• Modes supported: passages (default) and sentences.
• Optional min_score to filters results based on similarity scores
