Inferred read-onlyget_archiveGet full metadata for one archive by id, including its schema card (structure summary) when one exists.
Inferred read-onlyget_schema_cardGet the compact schema card for an archive: file format, columns, sample rows/headers, sidecar docs (READMEs/data dictionaries) and a copy-paste starter cell.
Inferred read-onlyget_data_accessGet how to load a dataset in YOUR OWN environment: storage location plus copy-paste code snippets (from the dataset's schema card, or generated as a fallback).
Inferred read-onlylist_archive_filesList a sample of the files/objects in an archive's storage (the cached file tree).
Inferred read-onlyget_sample_notebookGet the pre-executed starter notebook for an archive — a worked example of loading and exploring the data.
Inferred read-onlylookup_paperResolve a research paper (by arXiv id, DOI, URL, or title) and return its metadata plus any Scigantic archives linked to or suggested by it.
Inferred read-onlylist_compute_tiersList the compute tiers available for launching a Scigantic notebook (CPU/GPU options and hourly cost).
