• get_element_ri

  Get current Research Intensity (RIS) for one of the 118 chemical elements, with a citation URL. No API key needed. Historical RI (HRI) is included with a Personal+ key.

• search_subjects

  Resolve a free-text query (a compound, material, or research topic) to its subject_type/subject_id for use with get_subject_ri. Free with any API key. Without a key, pay per call: $0.01 in USDC on Base or Solana via x402 (send the payment in _meta["x402/payment"]).

• get_subject_ri

  Get RI, RIS, HRI and paper count for one research topic/keyword/sector. Requires a Personal+ account -- call search_subjects first to resolve subject_type/subject_id. Without a key, pay per call: $0.01 in USDC on Base or Solana via x402 (send the payment in _meta["x402/payment"]).

• get_subject_history

  Full yearly (or monthly) RIS/HRI history for one topic/keyword/sector. Requires a Personal+ account. Without a key, pay per call: $0.10 in USDC on Base or Solana via x402 (send the payment in _meta["x402/payment"]).

• get_subject_papers

  List the top papers driving a research topic's RI -- title, DOI, venue, year, citations. This is the grounding tool: use it when asked what to READ about a topic, rather than how active it is. Requires a Personal+ account. Capped at 100 papers with no pagination. Without a key, pay per call: $0.02 for up to 20 papers, $0.10 for up to 100, in USDC on Base or Solana via x402 (send the payment in _meta["x402/payment"]).

• get_element_papers

  List the top papers driving an element's RI -- title, DOI, venue, year, citations. Requires a Personal+ account. Capped at 100 papers with no pagination. Without a key, pay per call: $0.02 for up to 20 papers, $0.10 for up to 100, in USDC on Base or Solana via x402 (send the payment in _meta["x402/payment"]).

• lab_quote

  Price a research question before buying it. Send a filter in the Lab syntax: +must -exclude "exact topic" (a OR b) wild* year:2015..2026, over element symbols or names and topic names (e.g. +Li +Co "solid electrolyte" -sulfide). Returns how many papers match, by year and by research community, the nearest broader query when nothing matches, and a binding quote_id with a price for each deliverable (ranked papers, the full packet). Requires a Professional+ account. Without a key, pay per call: $0.01 in USDC on Base or Solana via x402 (send the payment in _meta["x402/payment"]).

• lab_run

  Buy a Lab quote: pass the quote_id from lab_quote and a depth (papers_20 or papers_100) to get the top papers matching the quoted query, ranked by impact, with the curation behind each rank. Priced from the quote, less the $0.01 the quote cost. A stale or expired quote is refused before any payment. Requires a Professional+ account. Without a key, pay per call: the quoted price of the depth, less the $0.01 quote credit in USDC on Base or Solana via x402 (send the payment in _meta["x402/payment"]).
