AI prompt

Paste this into your AI assistant. It already holds this endpoint's parameters, response fields and an example request, so the assistant can ask what you need and then write the scraper.

Help me write a script that calls the EveryInfra "Scholarly and patent search" API.

API contract:
- Request: POST https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/search with the header Authorization: Bearer <API Key>. Read the key from the EVERYINFRA_API_KEY environment variable; do not put it in the code.
- In the request body, set tool to scholar and put the parameters in params.
- Required parameters:
  - q: Search query.
- Optional parameters:
  - num: Number of papers or patents, up to 10; larger values return 10.
  - kind: papers for papers, patents for patents. (allowed values: papers / patents)
- Example request body:
{
  "tool": "scholar",
  "params": {
    "q": "coffee",
    "num": 3
  }
}
- Billing: Price $0.69 per 1,000 requests ($0.000694 per call). Failed calls and empty results are not charged.
- On 422, fix the parameters using the suggestions and allowed values in the error. On 429 or 503, wait for Retry-After and try again.

Before writing code, ask me how many items I need to process and what format to save the results in, then confirm the plan and the rough cost with me.

Response example

Real response

Captured October 24, 2026 at 18:28 (UTC) by calling this API with the parameters in the code sample above. results and count are that call's real response with personal information (names, handles, avatars, profile links, contact details) removed; the list keeps the first 2. id, billing and quota differ on every call, so only their shape is shown.
