-"""Springer Nature (science)
+"""`Springer Nature`_ is a global publisher dedicated to providing service to
+research community with official Springer-API_ (API-Playground_).
+
+.. note::
+
+   The Springer engine requires an API key, which can be obtained via the
+   `Springer subscription`_.
+
+Since the search term is passed 1:1 to the API, SearXNG users can use the
+`Supported Query Parameters`_.
+
+- ``!springer (doi:10.1007/s10948-025-07019-1 OR doi:10.1007/s10948-025-07035-1)``
+- ``!springer keyword:ybco``
+
+However, please note that the available options depend on the subscription type.
+
+For example, the ``year:`` filter requires a *Premium Plan* subscription.
+
+- ``!springer keyword:ybco year:2024``
+
+The engine uses the REST Meta-API_ `v2` endpoint, but there is also a `Python
+API Wrapper`_.
+
+.. _Python API Wrapper: https://pypi.org/project/springernature-api-client/
+.. _Springer Nature: https://www.springernature.com/
+.. _Springer subscription:  https://dev.springernature.com/subscription/
+.. _Springer-API: https://dev.springernature.com/docs/introduction/

+.. _Supported Query Parameters: https://dev.springernature.com/docs/supported-query-params/
+
+
+Configuration
+=============
+
+The engine has the following additional settings:
