PubMed Research Alert — New Papers by Keyword & Author

Search newly indexed biomedical and life-science papers by keyword, author, or journal. Get title, authors, journal, publication date, DOI, and PubMed link — most recent first.

Built for pharma/biotech competitive intelligence tracking research in a therapeutic area or from a specific lab, and researchers doing literature monitoring without checking PubMed by hand.

How it works

Direct calls to the official NCBI E-utilities API (eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov) — the same public interface behind PubMed's own search. No API key, no proxy, no login, no scraping.

Pricing note

Billed per search, not per paper returned — one charge whether the search returns 1 paper or 100.
