# thebotwire.com Biology & Medicine Preprints

> thebotwire.com Biology & Medicine Preprints is a paid API for AI agents from thebotwire.com, paid per call via x402, $0.005/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Fetches the latest biology and medicine preprints from bioRxiv and medRxiv, with optional keyword search, source filter, and freshness window

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://thebotwire.com/preprints/latest
- Price: $0.005/call
- Payment: x402

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability thebotwire-com-biology-medicine-preprints-fcea92dc
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest 20 bioRxiv preprints on CRISPR gene editing from the past 3 days and summarize what's new.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need pre-peer-review biology or medicine research papers specifically from bioRxiv or medRxiv — particularly for real-time monitoring of emerging science, competitive research tracking, or literature reviews requiring the absolute latest findings before formal journal publication. Prefer this over general web search when you want structured preprint metadata (authors, abstracts, DOIs) rather than news articles about research.

## Known failure modes

- No results found for narrow or obscure search queries — returns empty list
- Invalid 'since' format (e.g. '1week' instead of '7d') may cause a parameter error
- Source filter typo (e.g. 'biorxiv' vs 'bioarxiv') yields no results or error
- Upstream bioRxiv/medRxiv feed delay means very recently submitted preprints may not appear
- Limit exceeding 50 returns a validation error

## How this service works

Biology and medicine preprints for research agents: bioRxiv and medRxiv, all subject areas, before peer review.

## Output

A list of preprint records from bioRxiv and/or medRxiv, each including the title, authors, abstract or summary, subject area, source repository, publication date, and a link or DOI. Results can be filtered by source, bounded by a freshness window (e.g. last 2 hours, last 3 days), and limited to a specified count (up to 50).
