For example, I would like to summarize SRA metadata for a specific specie, PubMed ids associated (or citations), year of publication, country, sequencing technology, etc. I know I can use sratools, but I'm not sure if I can get all the information I need just with it, maybe with a combination of E-utilities... Anyways, I was wondering if you know an easier/faster way to do this.

ffq - https://github.com/pachterlab/ffq - can get you some metadata associated with SRA or GEO identifiers.

It's a cool tool, but I think it is not what I'm looking for.

I figured; since you want to search for a specific species, etc. so I just left this as a comment. To get what you want, GenoMax's solution is a good one.

You can get summaries via EntrezDirect:

% esearch -db sra -query "escherichia coli [ORGN]" | efetch -format runinfo | head -3
Run,ReleaseDate,LoadDate,spots,bases,spots_with_mates,avgLength,size_MB,AssemblyName,download_path,Experiment,LibraryName,LibraryStrategy,LibrarySelection,LibrarySource,LibraryLayout,InsertSize,InsertDev,Platform,Model,SRAStudy,BioProject,Study_Pubmed_id,ProjectID,Sample,BioSample,SampleType,TaxID,ScientificName,SampleName,g1k_pop_code,source,g1k_analysis_group,Subject_ID,Sex,Disease,Tumor,Affection_Status,Analyte_Type,Histological_Type,Body_Site,CenterName,Submission,dbgap_study_accession,Consent,RunHash,ReadHash

There are over 3 million accessions for E. coli

 % esearch -db sra -query "escherichia coli [ORGN]"                                   
<ENTREZ_DIRECT>
  <Db>sra</Db>
  <QueryKey>1</QueryKey>
  <Count>**331880**</Count>
  <Step>1</Step>
</ENTREZ_DIRECT>

This is not going to give you PubMed ID's though. Those may need to be obtained separately

% esearch -db sra -query "SRR22827027" | elink -target pubmed | esummary | xtract -pattern DocumentSummary -element Id,FullJournalName,ELocationID

Yes, that's what I thought. Many thanks!
