Everything you need to search biomedical literature

One API, multiple search modes, real-time data — built for researchers, developers, and biotech companies.

Semantic Search

Understand meaning, not just keywords. Powered by advanced AI embeddings for high-recall biomedical queries.

Keyword Search

Classic BM25 full-text search for exact terms, PMIDs, author names, or journal titles with precision ranking.

Hybrid Mode

Combine semantic and keyword search using Reciprocal Rank Fusion for the best of both worlds.

Similar Articles

Find related papers from any PMID. Embedding-based similarity discovers connections humans might miss.

Journal & Author Discovery

Browse journals and search authors with aggregated article counts across the entire corpus.

Real-time Statistics

Monitor index health, document counts, and data volume with public and authenticated stats endpoints.

Use Cases

One API, endless applications across healthcare and life sciences.

Hospitals & Teaching Centers

Automated scientific monitoring, clinical decision support

Research Laboratories

AI-accelerated literature reviews

Pharmaceutical Industry

Drug discovery, patent analysis, competitive intelligence

Biotech Startups

Scientific knowledge bases, RAG pipelines

Simple integration, any language

A single POST request is all you need to search millions of articles.

Frequently asked questions

Emerit Index currently indexes 40M+ articles from PubMed and HAL (Hyper Articles en Ligne). We continuously ingest new publications and plan to add more biomedical databases.

Sign up with your email, set your password via the link sent to your inbox, then log in to the dashboard to get your API key. The free plan offers 100 requests per day with one API key — perfect for research and prototyping. No credit card required.

Keyword search matches exact terms using BM25 ranking. Semantic search uses AI-powered embeddings to understand the meaning of your query and find conceptually related articles, even without exact term matches. Hybrid mode combines both approaches using Reciprocal Rank Fusion.

Yes. All infrastructure is hosted in European data centers. We only index publicly available metadata (titles, abstracts, authors, journals) from PubMed and HAL. No personal health data is stored or processed.

Contact us at contact@emeritscience.com for a custom plan. We'll set up your account with custom quotas and dedicated support within 24 hours.

Absolutely. The free plan allows evaluation. For production use, contact us for a plan tailored to your needs.
