rxivist module

class pygetpapers.repository.rxivist.Rxivist

Bases: RepositoryInterface

Rxivist wrapper for biorxiv and medrxiv

From the site (rxivist.org): “Rxivist combines biology preprints from bioRxiv and medRxiv with data from Twitter to help you find the papers being discussed in your field.”

Appears to be metadata-only. To get full-text you may have to submit the IDs to biorxiv or medrxiv or EPMC as this aggregates preprints.
