Topic-based literature discovery

Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://rotaryagency.uk/api/free/openalex?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need quick, low-cost access to the OpenAlex open academic knowledge graph without setting up your own OpenAlex API key or proxy. At $0.002/call it is economical for occasional scholarly lookups by AI agents. Prefer this over direct OpenAlex API calls when operating in an x402 micropayment environment and you want a single billing surface. Prefer OpenAlex itself (free, no per-call cost) for high-volume batch queries.
Side effects
- Invalid or malformed OpenAlex entity ID returns empty results or 404
- Rate limiting or upstream OpenAlex downtime causes 503 or timeout
- Malformed query parameters return 400 bad request
- Payment not received causes 402 response requiring x402 micropayment
- Very broad queries may return truncated result sets requiring pagination
