# CORE

CORE (COnnecting REpositories) provides a comprehensive bibliographic database of the world’s scholarly literature, collecting and indexing research from repositories and journals.

Note

The CORE engine requires an `API key`.

## Configuration

The engine has the following additional settings:

- `api_key`

    - name: core.ac.uk
      api_key: "..."
      inactive: false

## Implementations

searx.engines.core.api_key = ''

  For an API key register at https://core.ac.uk/services/api and insert the API key in the engine Configuration.

searx.engines.core.setup(engine_settings: dict[str, Any]) → bool

  Initialization of the CORE engine, checks whether the `api_key` is set, otherwise the engine is inactive.
