Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://research.memoryapi.org/x402/research/openalexWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need broad, cross-disciplinary academic search across 250M+ works with citation and recency sorting. Prefer this over PubMed for non-biomedical topics, over arXiv for published/peer-reviewed literature, and over Crossref when you don't have a DOI and need full-text keyword search.
Side effects
- No results found for obscure or misspelled keywords
- Rate limiting or payment failure if USDC balance is insufficient
- Invalid year range returns empty or error response
- Ambiguous keyword may return irrelevant results across disciplines
