Search all the things! Pluggable metasearch. Uses APIs when it can, scrapes otherwise, write your own plugins for things that don't already have them.
Amalgamatic is a pluggable metasearch/federated search tool. It let's you choose a series of sources to search and then search them.
Search all the things!
Install Amalgamatic and plugins with npm
. For example:
# npm install --save amalgamatic amalgamatic-sfx amalgamatic-pubmed
// Load Amalgamatic
var amalgamatic = require('amalgamatic');
// Load some plugins to search SFX and PubMed.
var sfx = require('amalgamatic-sfx');
var pubmed = require('amalgamatic-pubmed');
// Add the plugins to Amalgamatic.
amalgamatic.add('sfx', sfx);
amalgamatic.add('pubmed', pubmed);
var callback = function (err, results) {
if (err) {
console.dir(err);
} else {
results.forEach( function (result) {
console.log('\nCollection name: ' + result.name);
console.dir(result.data);
});
}
};
// Do a search!
amalgamatic.search({searchTerm: 'medicine'}, callback);
Add (register) a plugin for a collection.

: Integer representing the maximum number of results to return from each plugin. Use 0 or a negative number (or omit the property altogether) to return the default number of results from each plugin.pluginCallback
: A function to execute after each plugin returns a result. It is called with two parameters.
* error
: An Error object or null
if no error occurred.
results
: An object containing the results from the plugin.callback
: A function to execute after all plugins have returned results. It is called with two parameters.
* error
: An Error object or null
if no error occurred.
