Limitations

OpenAlex API has a polite rate limit (~10 req/sec); the actor adds ~250ms between paginated calls.
For best citation/identifier coverage, include an email in the User-Agent header (already set by the actor).
abstract is reconstructed from OpenAlex's inverted index. Some old works don't have one.

If this actor helped you, please leave a review on the Apify Store.
