Changelog

2026-07-02

Reliability

Added an optional openAlexApiKey and a fallback for temporary anonymous search limits so searches can still return paper metadata.
Ensured fallback results respect publicationYear, minCitations, and openAccessOnly filters before records are saved.

2026-06-23

Changes

Reduced the default maxResults to 20 for faster, lower-cost starter runs; explicit custom limits up to 500 continue to work.

2026-03-03
