FAQ

What are the limits and terms? (Data source and limits)

All data comes from the official OpenAlex API (api.openalex.org), released under CC0. No scraping, no login. Without an OpenAlex API key, all keyless users on the same network share a small daily request budget; if it runs out the actor stops with a clear message. Paste a free key from openalex.org/settings/api into the optional input to avoid that. Citation counts and abstracts depend on what OpenAlex has indexed; some papers have no abstract. This actor is not affiliated with OpenAlex.
