| # Springer Nature Meta API v2 — FrontierLab |
|
|
| Created on 2026-10-27. Code and offline tests implemented. Live secret-backed test is NOT claimed complete until its manually triggered workflow succeeds. |

|
|
| The Springer Nature **Meta API** provides bibliographic metadata (not Meta Platforms' AI model inference). It is distinct from the Springer Nature Open Access API. Neither API automatically grants full text for paywalled papers. |
|
|
| You added GitHub repository secret Meta_API_Key. The workflow references secrets.META_API_KEY, as GitHub normalizes secret names case-insensitively. Please do not paste the secret in public code or an issue. It is not inherited by the Hugging Face Space. |
|
|
| ## Operational tests |
|
|
| 1. GitHub Actions → Springer Nature Meta API v2 Connection Check → Run workflow. |
| 2. Confirm output status OK, count > 0, title/DOI and whether an abstract exists (not the key). |
| 3. Optional full workflow: Actions → FrontierLab Three-Source Discovery Audit (manual) → Run workflow. |
| 4. This second workflow calls Europe PMC, Springer Nature Meta and Open Access once each (two records/provider) and outputs DOI-merged metadata plus per-source status. A failed provider is reported FAILED, not silently treated as zero publications. |
|
|
| ## Integrity |
|
|
| - The API returns records with DOIs, titles, authors, publication dates and abstracts when supplied; missing abstracts remain empty. |
| - The merger normalizes DOI capitalization/URL prefixes, deduplicates records and preserves the source list. It prefers the longer nonempty abstract but does not independently validate accuracy. |
| - Documents without abstracts cannot support evidence extraction by themselves. |
| - No external Meta Model API billing or automated paywalled full-text collection. |
| - The existing public Hugging Face CPU Space currently uses Europe PMC only; to enable publisher API calls there requires adding distinct Hugging Face Secrets and deploying a UI integration. GitHub secrets are not automatically copied. |
