Australia Research Institutions API

Australia Research Institutions API helps teams collect Australia universities, OpenAlex institutions, research data as clean JSON on Apify. It uses OpenAlex institutions API, so the listing matches the real data source used by the Actor. Extract Australian OpenAlex institutions with ROR IDs, homepages, works counts, citation metrics, h-index, cities, and geodata. The Actor uses the real public source validated during development:

• Source: OpenAlex institutions API
• Region: Australia
• Start URL/API: https://api.openalex.org/institutions?filter=country_code:AU&per-page=10
• Output: normalized JSON records pushed to the default Apify dataset

What You Can Extract

Use this Actor to collect structured academic institutions records for enrichment, monitoring, market research, dashboards, AI agents, and scheduled data pipelines. The output keeps the useful source fields while adding rank, source, region, source URL, and fetch timestamp fields, so every row can be traced back to its origin.

Typical use cases include international market intelligence, public-sector data discovery, local SEO research, data enrichment, academic research, travel and transport monitoring, risk monitoring, and automated reporting. The Actor intentionally avoids brittle browser scraping and heavy bot-protected websites. It calls a public JSON endpoint and exits after pushing data, keeping maintenance low and runs fast.

Input

Most users only need to adjust maxResults. Some sources also support a search query, country code, station code, city code, area code, indicator code, Formula 1 season, or CNPJ list depending on the underlying API.
