When to Use
- You need to search PubMed for articles by keyword, author, journal, or date range and then retrieve metadata or abstracts.
- You want to download GenBank records (e.g., nucleotide/protein sequences) in batch given accession IDs or search queries.
- You need to convert identifiers or discover related records across NCBI databases (e.g., PubMed ↔ PMC, Gene ↔ Protein) via cross-links.
- You must retrieve lightweight summaries (titles, IDs, basic metadata) before deciding which full records to fetch.
- You are integrating NCBI E-utilities into an automated pipeline and need API key usage and rate-limit-aware requests.
