Search CORE's public open-access works index using a topic, title, author, DOI, institution, or CORE query expression. The Actor follows the public API's offset pagination and returns a compact, stable dataset of real works.

Input example

{
"query": "machine learning",
"maxItems": 50,
"pageSize": 25,
"maxPages": 2,
"requestDelayMs": 300,
"useApifyProxy": false
}

The complete input contract is in .actor/input_schema.json.

FieldTypeDefault
querystringmachine learning
maxItemsinteger50

pageSizeinteger50
maxPagesinteger1
requestDelayMsinteger300
requestTimeoutSecsinteger60
maxRequestRetriesinteger2
useApifyProxybooleanfalse
proxyGroupsarray of strings[]
proxyCountryCodestring—
proxyUrlsarray of strings[]

maxResults remains a backward-compatible alias for maxItems. The Actor supports direct access, authorized Apify Proxy groups/country selection, or custom HTTP(S) proxy URLs.

Output

Each dataset row contains a stable CORE identity, title, deduplicated author names, public CORE URL, query/page/rank context, and optional abstract, DOI, type, publisher, field, dates, citations, and public download URL. Missing optional values are omitted. Failures and no-results never become placeholder work rows; the OUTPUT key contains status, page counts, total hits, bounded failure categories, connection mode, and completion time.

Dataset records use .actor/dataset_schema.json:

The Actor validates HTTP status and content type before parsing JSON, enforces a response-size bound, rejects malformed or changed payloads, retries only temporary failures, deduplicates by CORE ID, and obeys hard page/result limits. It never stores raw API payloads or logs proxy credentials, authorization headers, cookies, tokens, or sensitive response bodies. It does not bypass authentication, CAPTCHA, paywalls, regional restrictions, or other access controls.
