OpenAlex Scraper 🎓

Scrape millions of scholarly works, author profiles and citation data from OpenAlex — by search query, with no API key. Clean, structured JSON built for literature reviews, research intelligence, citation analysis and open-science datasets.

OpenAlex is a fully open index of the global research graph (250M+ works, 90M+ authors, journals, institutions and concepts). This actor turns any keyword search into a tidy dataset you can export to CSV, JSON, Excel or push straight into your data warehouse.

💡 What you get

Pick a mode and hand it a list of search queries.

Mode: `works` (papers)

Every record is one scholarly work:

Field	Description
`openalex_id`	OpenAlex work ID (e.g. `W2163605009`)
`doi`	Clean DOI (e.g. `10.1145/3065386`)
`title`	Paper title
`year` / `publication_date`	Year and full publication date
`cited_by_count`	Total citations
`authors`	List of author names
`institutions`	Unique list of affiliated institutions
`journal`	Source / journal / venue name
`is_oa` / `oa_url` / `pdf_url`	Open-access status and full-text links
`concepts`	List of topic / concept labels
`type`	Work type (article, review, dataset, …)

Mode: `authors` (profiles)

Every record is one author:

Field	Description
`openalex_id`	OpenAlex author ID
`name`	Author display name
`orcid`	ORCID iD (when known)
`works_count`	Number of works
`cited_by_count`	Total citations
`institution`	Last known institution

Every record also carries source: "openalex" and a scraped_at timestamp. All fields are nullable — missing data becomes null rather than breaking your pipeline.

🚀 Input

{
  "mode": "works",
  "queries": ["neural networks", "crispr"],
  "maxItems": 100
}

Input	Type	Description
`mode`	select	`works` (papers) or `authors` (profiles). Default `works`.
`queries`	array	One or more free-text search queries. Results are merged and de-duplicated.
`maxItems`	integer	Total records across all queries (1–1000). The budget is split evenly per query.
