Are there limits to how many searches I can perform?

ADS typically allows 5,000 requests per day per API token, which is sufficient for most research workflows.

Can I search for papers by specific journals?

Yes, the skill supports the 'bibstem' field to filter results by major journals such as ApJ, MNRAS, A&A, and Nature.

What is the difference between this and the arXiv skill?

ADS focuses on published papers, peer-reviewed journals, and citation data, whereas the arXiv skill is better for accessing recent pre-print source code and LaTeX files.

Does this skill require an API key?

Yes, you must generate an API token from your NASA ADS account settings and store it as an environment variable or in a local config file.

How do I get BibTeX format for my papers?

You can use the --format bibtex flag when retrieving a record by its unique bibcode to get a copy-paste ready citation.

数据科学与机器学习

Accesses the NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS) to search for literature, retrieve BibTeX citations, and track paper metadata.

关于

This skill integrates the NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS) directly into the Claude Code environment, allowing researchers and developers to search millions of astronomy and physics publications. It simplifies the research workflow by enabling users to find papers via bibcodes, authors, or complex queries, export BibTeX records for LaTeX projects, and analyze citation counts without leaving the terminal. Whether you are verifying a reference or compiling a bibliography for an astrophysics analysis, this tool automates the interaction with the ADS API to provide domain-specific literature data instantly.
