📋 What the OpenAlex Topics Scraper does
- Walks public OpenAlex surfaces and follows pagination
- Pushes one clean record per item with stable field names
- Adds an ISO timestamp on every record
- Surfaces errors as records rather than failing the whole run
- Auto-limits free runs to 10 records (preview), paid runs up to 1,000,000
💡 Why it matters Structured records are easier to wire into dashboards, warehouses and notebooks than raw scraped pages.
📊 Data fields
Each record includes: description, display_name, domain, field, id, keywords, results, scrapedAt, sourceUrl, subfield, wikipedia. These field names come straight from the actor's dataset schema, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.
⚠️ Good to Know: the actor returns whatever the live source returns at runtime.
