tacit ledge
So im trying to send a search request for PMC via Entrez. I set the search term to boron
it makes the request and gives me a list of PMC IDs that DO NOT point towards any article related to boron
So I went into the debugger and checked the requests
"https://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/esearch.fcgi?db=pmc&term=boron&retmax=5&tool=biopython&email=your_email%40example.com"
This is the request Its making. So I check the link and it shows the exact same 5 PMC IDS that have nothing to do with boron.
Also I used the PMC search and I know for certain there are like 59k pages with boron when searched
So essentially the requests in python and actual page is giving different results
Here is a snippet of my code
def search_pubmed_by_text(query, max_pages,embed):
Entrez.email = "your_email@example.com" # Provide your email address
ranked_keywords = get_keywords(query,10)
keywords = []
for full_keyword in ranked_keywords:
keywords.append(full_keyword[1])
full_term = (" AND ".join(keywords))
print(full_term)
handle = Entrez.esearch(db="pmc", term=full_term, retmax=max_pages)
