How this service works
[concierge custom] PubMed search via NCBI E-utilities (keyless). Query → count + idlist (retmax≤10) + optional title/journal/pubdate.
Output
Returns a structured custom-format response containing: total article count matching the query, a list of up to 10 PubMed IDs, and optional metadata per article including title, journal name, and publication date.
Example use cases
Literature review for medical researchers
“Search PubMed for papers on type 2 diabetes and metformin published in the last two years — I need up to 10 results with titles, journals, and dates.”
Competitive intelligence for biotech startup
“How many PubMed articles exist on mRNA cancer vaccines? Give me the titles and journals for the top 10 results.”

Endpoint
POSThttps://x402-v2-mint-pubmed-search.vercel.app/v1/pubmed-search/fmt/custom?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need to search biomedical or clinical literature from PubMed without managing an NCBI API key, and want structured metadata (title, journal, date) alongside IDs in a concierge custom format. Prefer it over raw NCBI E-utilities calls for agent workflows that need ready-to-use structured data with minimal setup. Use when up to 10 results per query is sufficient.
Side effects
- Malformed or overly complex PubMed query syntax returns zero results or an error
- NCBI E-utilities rate limiting or downtime causes request failure
- retmax exceeding 10 is not supported and may be clamped or rejected
- Very broad queries may return high counts but limited metadata detail
- Network timeout if NCBI servers are slow to respond
