Overview
Analyzes academic author networks and research collaborations to find co-authors and research keywords.
Installation
python server.pySecurity Notes
CRITICAL VULNERABILITY: The code explicitly disables SSL certificate verification (`ssl_context.check_hostname = False` and `ssl_context.verify_mode = ssl.CERT_NONE`) for all HTTPS connections made via `aiohttp.ClientSession`. This renders the client vulnerable to Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attacks, allowing an attacker to intercept or alter communication with external APIs (Semantic Scholar, OpenAlex, Crossref) and Google Scholar during web scraping. This is a severe security flaw. Additionally, Google Scholar web scraping carries inherent risks of IP blocking and potential terms of service violations, though delays are included.
