add author search function for a given keyword

[matinnuhamunada]

Hi @rendicahya ,

While dept_authors() can get you all the authors of a given department, I find that many authors are not yet assigned to the right department. Therefore, sometimes it is useful to search the author manually through SINTA author search.

Here I propose a simple scraper to get an author information for a given keyword. Example of use:

search_author('Indra Lesmana')

[{'id': '6081151',
  'name': 'INDRA LESMANA',
  'NIDN': '0008038406',
  'affiliation': 'Universitas Riau',
  'areas': ['Aquaculture',
   'Fish Genetics and Reproduction Biology',
   'Fish Nutrition']},
 {'id': '6023357',
  'name': 'INDRA LESMANA',
  'NIDN': '1120170054',
  'affiliation': 'Universitas Gadjah Mada',
  'areas': ['Molecular Genetics']},
 {'id': '5989126',
  'name': 'SYAHMIRZA INDRA LESMANA',
  'NIDN': '0307076801',
  'affiliation': 'Universitas Esa Unggul',
  'areas': ['Sport Physiotherapy', 'Sport Sciences']}]

I am by no means someone with informatics background, but I hope you find it useful.

Best regards,
Matin
