Frequently Asked Questions

What does the search match? The search looks across titles and full text, so a query like machine learning returns the most relevant works ranked by relevance.

Does it include citation counts? Yes. Each record includes the number of times the work has been cited, plus its authors, venue and open access status.

Can I find free full text? Where a work is open access, the record includes an open access URL you can follow to the full text.

How fresh is the data? Records are read live at run time, so each reflects the catalog at the moment of the run (see observedAt).

Example use cases

Export, API and AI agents (x402 + MCP)

Export the scraped data to JSON, CSV or Excel, pull it as a dataset through the Apify API, or wire it into your app with no code. This web scraper and data extractor also works for bulk data extraction and scheduled runs.

For AI agents: this Actor is available on x402, Apify's agentic payment standard built with Coinbase. An AI agent can discover, pay for and run it on its own with a funded wallet and a single HTTP request: no account, no subscription, no API key and no human in the loop. It also runs as an MCP tool inside Claude, Cursor and other AI clients out of the box. Learn more about x402 agentic payments on Apify.
