What you get

Every run writes a dataset with one row per record:

{
  "title": "A Survey on Evaluation of Large Language Models",
  "doi": "https://doi.org/10.1145/3641289",
  "url": "https://doi.org/10.1145/3641289",
  "open_access_url": null,
  "source": "ACM Transactions on Intelligent Systems and Technology",
  "year": "2024",
  "work_type": "article",
  "cited_by_count": 2735,
  "open_access": false,
  "concepts": [
    "Popularity",
    "Computer science",
    "Psychology",
    "Social psychology"
  ],
  "authors": [
    "Yupeng Chang",
    "Xu Wang",
    "Jindong Wang"
  ]
}

Input

{
  "query": "large language models",
  "limit": 10,
  "year_from": 2024,
  "year_to": 2026,
  "oa_only": false,
  "min_citations": 0,
  "sort_by": "relevance"
}

Field	Type	Description
`query`	string	Query: the query parameter. Default: "large language models".
`limit`	integer	Limit: the limit parameter. Default: 10.
`year_from`	integer	YearFrom: the yearfrom parameter. Default: 2024.
`year_to`	integer	YearTo: the yearto parameter. Default: 2026.
`oa_only`	boolean	OaOnly: the oaonly parameter. Default: false.
`min_citations`	integer	MinCitations: the mincitations parameter. Default: 0.
`sort_by`	string	SortBy: the sortby parameter. Default: "relevance".

Use cases

Monitor on a schedule — run this Actor on a timer and get a fresh, normalized snapshot every time; diff the datasets to see what changed.
Feed a dashboard or model — clean, one-JSON-item-per-record output is ready to pipe into a spreadsheet, database, or LLM prompt without any post-processing.
Research & due diligence — pull a structured set of records for a topic, name, or window without scraping the public source by hand.

Limits & notes

No API key, no login: it only reads public endpoints/feeds. If the upstream source is degraded, the run still succeeds and returns an honest status item instead of failing.
Results reflect what the public source returned at run time (top-N windows, newest-first where applicable).
Pay-per-event via synthetic events: each default-dataset item is billed through apify-default-dataset-item ($0.001 per item), plus apify-actor-start.
Free to try on the free plan; PPE pricing applies to paid-plan users.
