Integrate INSPIRE API with Your Physics Assistant

Learn how to integrate INSPIRE API with your AI agent to access high energy physics research data.


inspirehep.net Integration Guide

This guide will walk you through integrating the inspirehep.net API with your OpenAssistantGPT chatbot.

Overview

INSPIRE is the leading information platform for High Energy Physics (HEP), providing access to literature, authors, institutions, conferences, and research data. The service offers comprehensive coverage of particle physics research, including preprints, published papers, and data. It features advanced search capabilities, citation analysis, and author profiles specific to the HEP community.
