class langchain_community.utilities.pubmed.PubMedAPIWrapper[source]#

Bases: BaseModel

Wrapper around PubMed API.

This wrapper will use the PubMed API to conduct searches and fetch document summaries. By default, it will return the document summaries of the top-k results of an input search.

Parameters:

  • top_k_results – number of the top-scored document used for the PubMed tool

  • MAX_QUERY_LENGTH – maximum length of the query. Default is 300 characters.

  • doc_content_chars_max – maximum length of the document content. Content will be truncated if it exceeds this length. Default is 2000 characters.

  • max_retry – maximum number of retries for a request. Default is 5.

  • sleep_time – time to wait between retries. Default is 0.2 seconds.

  • email – email address to be used for the PubMed API.

Create a new model by parsing and validating input data from keyword arguments.

Raises [ValidationError][pydantic_core.ValidationError] if the input data cannot be validated to form a valid model.

self is explicitly positional-only to allow self as a field name.
