from resp import arxiv, semantic_scholar, acm, google_scholar

# Arxiv - No API key needed
papers = arxiv.search_papers("deep learning", max_results=10)

# Semantic Scholar - No API key needed
papers = semantic_scholar.search_papers("natural language processing", max_results=5)

# ACM Digital Library - No API key needed
papers = acm.search_papers("machine learning", max_results=5)

# Google Scholar - Requires free SerpAPI key from https://serpapi.com/
google_scholar.set_api_key("your_serpapi_key")
papers = google_scholar.search_papers("machine learning", num_results=10)

Advanced API (Direct Class Access)

from resp.apis.arxiv_api import Arxiv
from resp.apis.semantic_s import Semantic_Scholar
from resp.apis.serp_api import Serp

# Arxiv
ap = Arxiv()
papers = ap.arxiv('deep learning', max_pages=5)

# Semantic Scholar
sc = Semantic_Scholar()
papers = sc.ss('neural networks', max_pages=3)

# Google Scholar via Serp
serp = Serp(api_key="your_serpapi_key")
papers = serp.google_scholar_search('transformers', max_pages=2)

Features

related = google_scholar.get_related_papers("BERT language model")

Connected Papers (Requires Selenium)

from resp import connected_papers

# Install first: pip install respsearch[selenium]
papers = connected_papers().get_connected_papers("paper_title")

Using Resp Class for Multiple Sources

from resp import Resp

# Search across ACL, PMLR, NeurIPS, etc.
