• get_author_contextGet Authorread-only

  Fetch agent-oriented context for a Lacuna author. Author profiles describe research output (papers, directions, impact). A free-text `affiliation` field may be present but can be incomplete or outdated and may not represent current employment; the corpus has no biography or employment history, so do not infer those from this data. view selects the response shape: - "context" (default, recommended): Lacuna's compact author context — capped readable papers and an `impact_directions` list (named research directions) in place of the raw numeric `impact_cluste…

• get_author_directionsList Author Directionsread-only

  Fetch one page of an author's named research directions.

• get_author_neighborsList Similar Authorsread-only

  Fetch one ranked page of neighboring/similar Lacuna authors.

• get_author_papersList Author Papersread-only

  Fetch one page of an author's papers, ordered from newest to oldest.

• get_directionGet Research Directionread-only

  Fetch a Lacuna research direction/cluster. Use a numeric cluster ID (for example 25005) or a direction URL ending in that number. view selects the response shape (`context` typically contains the fields `full` provides plus the agent-oriented summary content): - "context" (default, recommended): compact agent-oriented summary with summary_markdown, capped papers/authors/related_directions, and truncation markers. - "full": raw upstream cluster record only. Cheaper than context when you only need basic cluster metadata.

• get_direction_papersList Direction Papersread-only

  Fetch paginated papers associated with a Lacuna research direction/cluster. view selects the per-paper shape: - "compact" (default, recommended): citation-ready rows (id, url, title, year, venue, a few authors, abstract snippet). Drops the raw upstream info blob and levels.cluster internals that otherwise dominate the payload. - "full": the complete upstream paper records. Much larger; use only when you need the raw metadata (openalex/dblp/arxiv ids, etc.).

• get_hypothesisGet Research Proposalread-only

  Fetch a generated novel ML/AI research proposal from Lacuna. Use after search_lacuna(search_type="hypothesis") to inspect a proposal. view selects the response shape: - "context" (default, recommended): compact single-fetch proposal context — summary_markdown, abstract, and linked directions, with the raw upstream record (whose markdown duplicates summary_markdown) dropped server-side. - "full": the server's version record, including version history and signal counts. Proposal bodies are in versions[].markdown. Use only when you need versions or signa…

• get_institution_authorsList Institution Authorsread-only

  Fetch one page of authors affiliated with a Lacuna institution. Results are ordered by paper count. Use authors_total, authors_returned, authors_offset, and authors_truncated to page through the complete list.

• get_institution_contextGet Institutionread-only

  Fetch agent-oriented context for a Lacuna institution. view selects the response shape: - "context" (default, recommended): compact institution context — capped top authors with the duplicated institution block dropped server-side. - "full": the complete institution context shape (duplicated institution record and a bounded author list with explicit truncation metadata). Use get_institution_authors to page through the complete author list.

• get_paperGet Paperread-only

  Fetch a Lacuna paper by artifact id or paper URL. include_resources adds linked resources (code repositories, datasets, models, and demos) in context and full views by default. Pass False to omit them; other views ignore this option. Pass a resource entry's id to get_resource for further details. view selects the response shape. `context` requests Lacuna's compact agent-oriented context by default, while the four single-field views (blog/figures/concepts/neighbors) return isolated sub-resources: - "context" (default, recommended): agent-oriented summary with …

• get_resourceGet Resourceread-only

  Fetch a Lacuna research resource (code repository, dataset, model, or demo). Accepts a resource artifact ID (art_...) or a Lacuna resource URL containing that ID (/resource/<slug>/art_...). The response includes the external url, a summary, facets (tasks, modalities, size, license, access), provider metrics, a README/card excerpt, `publications` (linked papers with paper_id, title, venue, year, and relationship such as dataset_for or code_for), related research directions, and other resources mentioned by this one. Pass a publication's paper_id to get_paper to…

• get_venue_contextGet Venueread-only

  Fetch agent-oriented context for a Lacuna venue, optionally scoped to a year. Venue keys are opaque hashes (e.g. "d7bf22905bd6"), never human-readable names like "icml". Find the key first via search_lacuna(search_type="venue") or pass a /venue/... page URL. view selects the response shape: - "context" (default, recommended): compact venue context — capped top authors, non-placeholder top clusters, and a recent-activity slice (the requested `year` is always included), with the duplicated venue block and full year histogram dropped server-side. - "fu…

• search_lacunaSearch Lacunaread-only

  Search Lacuna's ML/AI corpus for papers, research directions, authors, venues, institutions, novel research hypotheses, and research resources (code repositories, datasets, models, and demos linked to papers). For novel ML/AI research ideas, use search_type="hypothesis", then get_hypothesis on promising results. search_type accepts all, cluster, paper, author, institution, venue, hypothesis, or resource. Use paper for literature and get_paper to read a result. Use other sources for biographies, news, and non-research web content. Resources: search_type="r…
