Unofficial community Actor. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by OpenAlex or OurResearch.
Turn an OpenAlex Works search into a repeatable research snapshot or monitor. The Actor emits structured papers matching your query and can remember previously delivered works for scheduled runs.
What it delivers
- OpenAlex ID, DOI, title, publication date, and work type;
- authors and institutions in simple arrays;
- journal/source, landing-page URL, and best known open-access PDF;
- OA status, citation count, and the five leading OpenAlex topics.
apiKey is optional but recommended for recurring use: OpenAlex now gives a free key ten times the daily budget of anonymous requests. The secret is encrypted by Apify and sent as api_key. contactEmail remains optional identification. Narrow monitors can combine a full-text searchQuery, work types, an open-access requirement, and a publication lookback.
The default is a repeatable snapshot. Enable onlyNew and keep the same stateKey so scheduled runs emit unseen OpenAlex work IDs only.
Example input
{"searchQuery": "sodium ion battery recycling","lookbackDays": 60,"openAccessOnly": true,"workTypes": ["article", "review"],"apiKey": "YOUR_OPENALEX_API_KEY","contactEmail": "research@example.com","stateKey": "sodium-battery-watch","onlyNew": true,"maxItems": 100}
Pricing
The live price shown by Apify Store is the source of truth. The Actor is prepared for pay per result after creator payout onboarding; until the Store explicitly displays that model, no separate per-result fee is promised. Any OpenAlex API charges or prepaid usage belong to the API key owner.
