Find preprint metadata by DOI or a narrow date window.

What it does

Finds bioRxiv and medRxiv preprint metadata by DOI or date range, with local filtering for relevant papers.

When to use it

Use when a paper's DOI is known or an approximate date and category are available; do not use for topic-only discovery.

How to use it

Give it a DOI or a narrow date range and category; it retrieves preprint metadata into a local JSON file for separate parsing.
