Tanod Web – Academic Paper Search is a paid API for AI agents from web.tanod.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.003/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-13).
Searches academic paper indexes (OpenAlex or arXiv) by query string and returns ranked results with titles, authors, abstracts, DOIs, and citation counts.
Web tools: search, page to Markdown or screenshot, company profile and jobs, sitemaps, RDAP, IP.
A JSON object containing the search query, source index used, cache status, and a list of up to 25 paper records each with DOI, URL, publication year, title, venue name, author list, truncated abstract (up to 2000 chars), citation count, and an open-access PDF URL where available. Attribution metadata is included.
POSThttps://web.tanod.dev/v1/papers/search?utm_source=zero.xyzChoose this endpoint when you need structured academic paper metadata (titles, authors, abstracts, DOIs, citation counts) from broad scientific literature (OpenAlex) or CS/physics preprints (arXiv). Prefer it over general web search when you need citation counts, publication years, open-access filtering, or structured bibliographic data rather than raw web pages.
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| n | integer | Most papers to return, 1-25 (default 10). |
| q | string | Search query for paper titles, abstracts and full text index (1-300 characters), such as retrieval augmented generation. |
| source | string | Index to search: openalex (default, all disciplines) or arxiv (preprints only). |
| from_year | — | Optional: only papers published in this year or later. |
| open_access_only | boolean | Only papers with a free-to-read full text (OpenAlex is_oa filter; every arXiv paper is open access). |
