Biomedical Search Search across all major biomedical databases (PubMed, bioRxiv, medRxiv, ClinicalTrials.gov, FDA drug labels) simultaneously using natural language queries powered by Valyu's semantic search API. Why This Skill is Powerful No API Parameter Parsing : Just pass natural language queries directly no need to construct complex search parameters Semantic Search : Understands the meaning of your query, not just keyword matching Full Text Access : Returns complete content from literature, trials, and drug labels Image Links : Includes figures and images when available Comprehensive Coverage : Search across PubMed, bioRxiv, medRxiv, clinical trials, and drug labels simultaneously Unified Results : Get results from all biomedical sources in a single query Requirements 1. Node.js 18+ (uses built in fetch) 2. Valyu API key from https://platform.valyu.ai ($10 free credits) CRITICAL: Script Path Resolution The scripts/search commands in this documentation are relative to this skill's installation directory. Before running any command, locate the script using: Then use the full path for all commands: API Key Setup Flow When you run a search and receive "setup required": true , follow this flow: 1. Ask the user for their API key: "To search biomedical databases, I need your Valyu API key. Get one free ($10 credits) at https://platform.valyu.ai" 2. Once the user provides the key, run: 3. Retry the original search. When to Use This Skill Complete biomedical information gathering Clinical research combined with basic science Finding trials, literature, and official drug info together Evidence based medicine research Disease understanding from multiple angles Output Format Processing Results With jq Common Use Cases Clinical Research Planning Drug Safety Assessment Treatment Protocol Development Medical Writing Error Handling All commands return JSON with success field: Exit codes: 0 Success 1 Error (check JSON for details) API Endpoint Base URL: https://api.valyu.ai/v1 Endpoint: /search Authentication: X API Key header Architecture Direct API calls using Node.js built in fetch() , zero external dependencies.
