How this service works
Find source-linked scientific software and repositories by topic. Returns metadata, declared licence evidence and provenance pointers without downloading or reselling repository contents.
Output
Returns a list of matched scientific software repositories with metadata (name, description, source URL), declared licence evidence (licence type, file location), and provenance pointers (origin, lineage references). Does not download or redistribute repository contents.
Example use cases
Finding licensed bioinformatics tools
“Find me scientific software repositories for RNA-seq analysis — I need the metadata, declared licences, and provenance links so I can check which ones are permissively licensed for commercial use.”
Discovering climate modeling codebases
“Search for source-linked scientific code repositories on climate modeling and atmospheric simulation — I want metadata and provenance pointers I can use to evaluate reproducibility.”
Sourcing numerical methods libraries
“What open-source scientific repositories exist for finite element methods or numerical PDEs? Give me metadata and licence evidence so I can pick one that's actively maintained and openly licensed.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.macaroonnetwork.com/execute/polymathica-scientific-code-search-v1When to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need to discover scientific software by research topic with licence and provenance metadata attached — especially when compliance, reproducibility, or attribution matter. Prefer over general web search when you need structured metadata rather than raw links, and over GitHub search when you need licence evidence surfaced without manually inspecting repository files.
Side effects
- Query too vague or broad returns low-relevance or empty results
- Topic outside indexed scientific domains returns no matches
- Snapshot age means recently created repositories may not be indexed
- Ambiguous topic terms may match unrelated software domains
- Malformed request body returns 400-level error
