# V1 Get Paper Fulltext

`GET /v1/papers/{arxiv_id}/fulltext`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.scholarfeed.org` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://api.scholarfeed.org/v1/papers/{arxiv_id}/fulltext`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Extract section-typed full text for an arXiv paper (PAPI-06).

`sections` selects the projection:
- omitted or "all" (default): every canonical section — abstract, introduction,
  related_work, method, results, conclusion — at up to 3000 chars each,
  plus up to 5 captions.
- one section name: just that section.
- several names, comma-separated or as repeated params: just those, in
  canonical order. `sections=method,results` is roughly a third of the `all`
  payload, which matters when the caller is an LLM paying for every token of
  it.

Every response carries `available_sections`, so a caller always knows which
sections this paper actually has. Requesting a section the paper does not
contain returns 200 with `requested_section_available: false`, a `note`, and
the sections that do exist — never an empty body.

`section_provenance` records how each section was typed, and
`low_confidence_sections` names the ones that were inferred rather than read.
Today that means only a `method` recovered by position: when no heading
identified the method, the section between the introduction and the results is
used, which a 50-paper hand audit put at ~50% accurate. Treat those as a hint
and check the text before citing them.

Sources, tried in order: arXiv LaTeXML HTML (section-tagged, ~89% of the
corpus), the LaTeX e-print tarball, then PDF text segmented by heading.

Rate limit: 10/minute per API key.

## Path parameters

- `arxiv_id` string, required

## Query parameters

- `sections` string[], nullable: Sections to return: 'all' (default), or any of abstract, introduction, related_work, method, results, conclusion. Comma-separate or repeat the param to ask for several, e.g. sections=method,results.

## Response `200`

Successful Response

- object

## Other responses

- `422`: Validation Error
