Hey, thanks for your work on this module!

I've done custom implementations of using the NCBI API before and know there is a way to fetch a full publication as JSON by its ID.

As I understand, with your module I can grab pieces of a publication by ID but never the complete object, is that correct or am I missing a piece?

Thanks!

Hi, Thanks for the wonder full package. Could you please tell me how to mine mesh terms using this package?? A quick example would be really helpfull.

thanks,
Vivek

Hi, thanks very much for putting this package together.

It seems there is an issue with the boolean returned by
pubmed.isOa(ID)

I was testing this and seeing the same result from
pubmed.fullText(ID)
meaning I either get the full text or I don't, consistently, but the results of the boolean change.

Any ideas?

The description of the API for pubmed.search is incorrect. The data passed to .then is an object containing the count and and an array of summaries.

Specific linkage queries were removed and moved into pubmed.js ... create one generic test for linkage and delete the others.

Thanks a lot for this very useful package!

We currently use on our backend side, and I noticed recently that a lot of dependencies were added to our project when building and deploying, and found out it was because of node-ncbi.

Could you consider moving the dependencies that are not mandatory to package use into devDependencies of your package.json file ?

If it helps, I can make a Pull Request.

Thanks again and have a nice day!

Use webpack or browserify to create a browser version. Need Promise polyfill to be included.

Half of it is coming from xml2js ... use browserify-bypass to create a smaller version for the browser. Should be much easier with access to the native DOM parser (doable in a few lines of code).
