Arcas is a python tool designed to help with collecting academic articles from various APIs.
Arcas allows you:
- access meta data from different academic APIs.
- a collection of examples of analysing such meta data.
The easiest way to install it is:
`
$ pip install arcas
`
To install from source:
`
$ git clone https://github.com/Nikoleta-v3/Arcas.git
$ cd Arcas
$ python setup.py install
`
Arcas uses docopt to pass a list of arguments.
For example:
`
$ arcas_scrape -p arxiv -t "Prisoner's Dilemma" -y 2000 -r 1
`
This query pings the arXiv api and asks for 1 record with the title containing the words Prisoner's Dilemma and published year 2000.
