Semantic Scholar Recommendations API
Download full-corpus datasets from the Semantic Scholar Academic Graph (S2AG) via its API. The latest release can be retrieved at https://api.semanticscholar.org/datasets/v1/release/latest, which returns metadata including the release ID (e.g., "2023-03-28") and available datasets. Each dataset, such as "abstracts", includes a description and README. The "abstracts" dataset contains around 100 million paper abstracts across 30 files of ~1.8GB each. To access file URLs, query the specific dataset endpoint: https://api.semanticscholar.org/datasets/v1/release/latest/dataset/abstracts, which provides direct download links to the data files in the "files" array. Example usage in Python uses requests to fetch JSON responses and print relevant details like recent releases, dataset info, and file paths for downloading. This API enables efficient access to large-scale academic data for research and analysis.
