Can I retrieve a paper if I only have the DOI?

Absolutely. The skill accepts DOIs, arXiv IDs, and INSPIRE internal record IDs (recid) for direct paper retrieval.

Are there rate limits for INSPIRE-HEP searches?

Yes, INSPIRE allows 15 requests per 5-second window per IP address to ensure fair usage of their API.

Can I search for papers by author using this skill?

Yes, you can use SPIRES-compatible syntax like 'a E.Witten.1' to search for specific authors within the INSPIRE-HEP database.

What citation formats are available?

The skill supports BibTeX, LaTeX (US style), and LaTeX (European style) for easy integration into scientific documents.

How does this differ from a standard arXiv search?

While arXiv focuses on preprints, INSPIRE-HEP provides additional metadata such as citation counts, publication information, and professional HEP-specific indexing.
