Academic Evidence Pack

Endpoints (3 live)

• POST /v1/evidence-pack — Find 3-10 scholarly candidates for a question or topic. Returns DOI/OpenAlex IDs, authors, year, venue, source URLs, citation context, open-access location, and known retraction/correction warnings. JSON only. Does not claim that a paper proves a statement. (0.03 USDC on Base)
• POST /v1/citation-report/large — Verify a bibliography. For every reference: exists, resolves, retracted/corrected/flagged, title/author/year match against the registered record, and a rule-derived fabrication risk — as a signed (Ed25519, RFC 8785 canonical JSON), byte-reproducible JSON report. Input: structured references or BibTeX. No LLM; every claim carries its source and retrieval time. Tier: large, up to 75 references. NOTE: $3.00 exceeds @x402/core's default $1.00 maxAmountPerPayment; raise it (setSpendControls). (3 USDC on Base)

• citation_report — Verify a bibliography. For every reference: exists, resolves, retracted/corrected/flagged, title/author/year match against the registered record, and a rule-derived fabrication risk — as a signed (Ed25519, RFC 8785 canonical JSON), byte-reproducible JSON report. Input: structured references or BibTeX. No LLM; every claim carries its source and retrieval time. Up to 50 references. Paid: $1.00 USDC per successful call via x402 (eip155:8453). An unpaid call returns the payment requirements (isError). Results carry settled / transaction / network / payer plus the signed report. Use this to check references you already have; to find papers for a question or claim, use evidence_pack_preview / evidence_pack instead.
• citation_report_large — Verify a bibliography. For every reference: exists, resolves, retracted/corrected/flagged, title/author/year match against the registered record, and a rule-derived fabrication risk — as a signed (Ed25519, RFC 8785 canonical JSON), byte-reproducible JSON report. Input: structured references or BibTeX. No LLM; every claim carries its source and retrieval time. Up to 75 references. Paid: $3.00 USDC per successful call via x402 (eip155:8453). An unpaid call returns the payment requirements (isError). Results carry settled / transaction / network / payer plus the signed report. Use this to check references you already have; to find papers for a question or claim, use evidence_pack_preview / evidence_pack instead. NOTE: $3.00 is above the @x402/core client's default spend cap (maxAmountPerPayment $1.00); raise it (client.setSpendControls) before calling, or the client refuses without sending anything.
• citation_report_preview — Free preview. Verify a bibliography. For every reference: exists, resolves, retracted/corrected/flagged, title/author/year match against the registered record, and a rule-derived fabrication risk — as a signed (Ed25519, RFC 8785 canonical JSON), byte-reproducible JSON report. Input: structured references or BibTeX. No LLM; every claim carries its source and retrieval time. Checks only the first 3 references; unsigned; no payment. Use this to check references you already have; to find papers for a question or claim, use evidence_pack_preview / evidence_pack instead.
• citation_report_receipt — Re-fetch a paid report you already bought, by its request_id, within the cache TTL. Free; no payment; the same signed report (request_id re-attached, unsigned, as on the paid result). Over the hosted endpoint GET /v1/citation-report/receipts/<request_id> serves the same bytes; over a local stdio run only that process can. Not found after the TTL, for previews, or for reports served by another process.
• evidence_pack — Find 3-10 scholarly candidates for a question or topic. Returns DOI/OpenAlex IDs, authors, year, venue, source URLs, citation context, open-access location, and known retraction/correction warnings. JSON only. Does not claim that a paper proves a statement. Paid: $0.03 USDC per successful call via x402 (eip155:8453). An unpaid call returns the payment requirements (isError). Results carry settled / transaction / network / payer. Use this when the free evidence_pack_preview (at most 3 candidates) is not enough; to check references you already have, use citation_report instead.
• evidence_pack_preview — Free triage for a question or topic: returns at most 3 scholarly candidates with DOI/OpenAlex IDs, authors, year, venue, source URLs, citation context, open-access location and known retraction/correction warnings. JSON only; no payment. Does not claim that a paper proves a statement. For up to 10 candidates use evidence_pack; to check references you already have use citation_report_preview.
