Command line options

-h, --help

Show help text

-i PUBMEDID, --pubmedid PUBMEDID

Search for author affiliations for single Pubmed ID

-d doi, --doi doi

Search for author affiliations for a single DOI

-f file, --infile file

File with a list of Pubmed IDs and DOIs (they can be mixed). One entry per line.

-x format, --format format

Output format. Choices=[‘json’ (default),’text’]. ‘text’ option produces tab separated table, denormalised in the sense that the pubmed ID/DOI is repeated on multiple rows if there are multiple authors with related affiliations.
