Getting started¶

You will find detailed guides to get started with the ads package linked below, and in the left side bar. This page gives you just a teaser for how to use ADS services with the ads Python package.

Here are some examples of how to search for documents:

from ads import Document, Affiliation

# Search by author name.
docs = (
    Document.select()
            .where(Document.author == "Ghez, Andrea M.")
            .limit(50)
)

# Retrieve a single document.
doc = Document.get(title="SDSS-V")

# See what down under is up to lately.
docs = (
    Document.select()
            .where(Document.affiliation.country == "Australia")
            .order_by(Document.entry_date.desc())
            .limit(10)
)

# Search by journal name.
docs = (
    Document.select()
            .where(Document.journal.title == "The Astrophysical Journal")
            .order_by(Document.citation_count.desc())
            .limit(3)
)

# Search by a curated list of affiliations.
monash = Affiliation.get(abbreviation="Monash U")
docs = (
    Document.select()
            .where(Document.affiliation == monash)
            .limit(10)
)

You can also access public and private ADS libraries, and export them to whatever format you need. In the Python tab below you can see the executable Python code, and in the second tab you can see the output.

Python

from ads import Library
from ads.services.export import aastex

gaia_data_release_papers = Library.get(id="7vKRL51sSFKXUfFVMZHC6g")

print(f"# {gaia_data_release_papers}")
print(aastex(gaia_data_release_papers))

Output

# <Library 7vKRL51sSFKXUfFVMZHC6g: Gaia Data Release papers (47 documents)>

Or you can create and edit your own libraries:

from ads import Document, Library

lib = Library.create(name="My refereed papers", public=True)
lib.documents = (
    Document.select()
            .where(
                (Document.author == "Kreidberg, Laura")
            &   (Document.property == "refereed")
            )
)
lib.save()

There’s a whole lot more you can do with the new ads. You can find more details information in the contents linked below.
