- ScraperAPI integration bypasses blocking
- Vercel KV storage persists data
- Zero maintenance - just update Scholar profile
Issue: Papers don't have tags/keywords yet, so word cloud shows "Loading..."
Solution needed:
- Add keyword extraction using FLock LLM
- Or manually add tags to papers
- The word cloud component is ready, just needs data
Quick fix: Add a script to generate tags from paper titles/abstracts using FLock API
Issue: FLock API returns error:
team not allowed to access model gpt-3.5-turbo
Supported models:
gpt-4o✅gpt-4.1gpt-4.1-minigemini/gemini-2.5-proqwen3-max
Solution needed: Go to: https://vercel.com/flock-io/vibe-research/settings/environment-variables
- Edit
FLOCK_MODEL - Change to:
gpt-4o - Redeploy
Status: Currently showing 0 citing papers
Why: Google Scholar requires additional scraping of each paper's "Cited by" page (rate-limited)
Options:
- Wait for manual implementation later
- Works fine without citing papers for now
- The site shows co-authorship and temporal connections instead

Create a script to extract keywords from paper titles using FLock LLM:
# Run locally
npm run generate-keywords
# Then push to production
vercel --prodOr manually add tags in the scraper based on title analysis.
# Local development
npm run dev
npm run fetch-papers # Preview Scholar data
npm run build # Test build
# Deployment
vercel --prod # Deploy to production
git push origin main # Auto-deploys via Vercel
# Data refresh
