Tools as reported by the server

• cern_inspire_search_literature
  Search INSPIRE-HEP papers with INSPIRE query syntax or free text, filtered by document type, subject, and year, sorted by relevance, recency, or citations. Returns one page of papers with recid, title, first author, date, citation counts, arXiv ID, DOI, publication, and an abstract snippet; pass a r
• cern_inspire_get_paper
  Fetch one paper's full INSPIRE-HEP record by recid, arXiv ID, or DOI: authors with affiliations and identifiers, abstract, publication references, arXiv and DOI identifiers, keywords, subjects, citation counts, linked experiments, texkeys, and whether HEPData holds its numerical tables (record DOI,
• cern_inspire_export_citations
  Export INSPIRE-HEP's citation entries for the papers a literature query selects, as BibTeX or LaTeX \bibitem entries (EU or US style), keyed by INSPIRE texkeys and ready to paste into a bibliography. Name specific papers with "recid:451647 or arxiv:1207.7214 or doi:10.1016/…", or export a topic, aut
• cern_inspire_search_authors
  Find physicist profiles in INSPIRE-HEP by name, INSPIRE BAI, ORCID, INSPIRE ID, or author recid. Each profile carries its recid, BAI, ORCID, current and past positions, advisors, arXiv categories, links, awards, and a literatureQuery that selects the person's papers in cern_inspire_search_literature
• cern_inspire_get_citation_summary
  Compute INSPIRE-HEP's citation summary for one author or for any literature query: h-index, citation totals, average citations per paper, and paper counts per citation bucket (0, 1–9, 10–49, 50–99, 100–249, 250–499, 500+), each for all citeable papers and for published papers, plus citations receive
• cern_inspire_search_experiments
  Find experiments, collaborations, and facilities in INSPIRE-HEP (ATLAS, CMS, DUNE, Belle II, …) by name, accelerator, or INSPIRE legacy name (CERN-LHC-CMS); digits alone look up an experiment recid. Each record carries the accelerator, host institutions, collaboration and subgroups, classification,
• cern_inspire_search_hepdata
  Find HEPData measurement records by physics content — process, observable, energy, collaboration — when the paper is unknown, through INSPIRE-HEP's index of every HEPData submission. Each hit carries the paper recids (pass to cern_inspire_get_paper), collaborations, keywords (reactions such as "P P
• cern_inspire_list_reference
  Decode the vocabulary the other cern_inspire tools take: INSPIRE search syntax (field operators, boolean logic, sort orders, the 10,000-result window, and how malformed queries behave), identifier forms (recid, arXiv, DOI, BAI, ORCID, INSPIRE ID, institution recid, texkey, HEPData DOIs), the documen
