Description
AI/ML research moves fast, and the work that matters is split between new papers and the code that implements them. Most search providers omit or misrank key papers, leaving you to review sources by hand without ever being sure you've caught everything. So we built an index for it. Firecrawl's index includes all 3M+ arXiv papers, as well as GitHub artifacts from top research repos, refreshed daily so agents always stay current.

Could you build this?
Partial While the search interface and API wrapper are straightforward, continuously discovering, parsing, and cross-linking arXiv papers with GitHub repositories at scale requires robust data pipeline engineering.
What it would actually take: Requires an ingestion pipeline pulling from arXiv, Hugging Face, and GitHub APIs, powered by background workers (Celery/Temporal). The hard part is accurate PDF parsing (extracting algorithms and code references), entity matching between academic papers and code repos, and maintaining a real-time hybrid search index (dense vectors via pgvector/Qdrant + BM25).
