OpenAlex Public Research Monitor – academic publications export

Give it a keyword, an OpenAlex filter, or nothing at all, and it returns the newest or most cited scholarly works from the free OpenAlex catalogue of 250M+ works. You don't need an API key.

You get one row per publication, with the title, doi, authors, venue, publication_date, cited_by_count, open access status and primary_topic. Schedule it daily with the newest-first sort to build a research alert feed.

Why this one

• No API key needed. It reads the public OpenAlex data, so you can start straight away.
• Any OpenAlex filter. Combine type, open access, dates, institutions and more in the OpenAlex filter field.
• Newest, most cited or most relevant. Pick the Sort order that suits your job.
• Old work types are fixed for you. Legacy types such as journal-article are converted to current OpenAlex types automatically.
• You never get a silently empty run. If your query matches nothing or fails, you get the most recent works flagged with query_applied: false.
• Simple pricing. $10.00 per 1,000 results, and runs with no results cost nothing.

Quick start

{
  "search": "",
  "filter": "type:article",
  "sort": "publication_date:desc",
  "perPage": 10,
  "maxPages": 1
}

This returns the 10 most recently published articles. In a test run on 25 Oct 2026 it returned 10 results.

What you can use it for

Who	What for
R&D and innovation teams	Watch new research in their field with a daily scheduled run
Librarians and research offices	Export recent output for an institution or topic
Analysts and consultants	Pull the most cited works on a subject to seed a briefing
Journalists	Find recent studies and their DOIs on a news topic
Open access sourcing	Use is_oa:true to collect papers with free full-text links

How to use it

1. Click Try for free.
2. In Keyword search, enter a topic such as machine learning in radiology. Leave it blank to skip keyword matching.
3. In OpenAlex filter, enter a comma-separated filter such as type:article,is_oa:true or from_publication_date:2024-01-01.
4. Choose a Sort order: publication_date:desc, cited_by_count:desc or relevance_score:desc. Relevance only works with a keyword search.
5. Set Works per page (1 to 200) and Maximum pages (1 to 5).
6. Click Start.

Tip: schedule it daily with newest-first sorting to get a running feed of new papers.

Input example

{
  "search": "large language models",
  "filter": "type:article,is_oa:true,from_publication_date:2024-01-01",
  "sort": "publication_date:desc",
  "perPage": 25,
  "maxPages": 2
}

You can combine filters with commas (AND) and values with | (OR), for example type:article|review,is_oa:true.

Good to know

• Limits. Up to 200 works per page and 5 pages per run, so up to 1,000 works.
• Data source. All data comes from the public OpenAlex API, released under CC0.
• Fallback results. If your query matches nothing, is rejected or times out, you get recent works with query_applied: false. Check this field.
• Newest-first sorting. Future-dated placeholder records are excluded.
• Links. open_access_url and landing_page_url are always HTTPS or null. A few older repositories only serve plain HTTP, so an upgraded link may not resolve. Use doi or openalex_url instead.
• Partial runs. If a later page fails, the works already collected are kept.
• Not affiliated. This tool isn't affiliated with or endorsed by OpenAlex.

FAQ

Do I need an API key? No.

Why is query_applied false? Your filter or search returned nothing or failed, so recent works were returned instead.

Which work types can I filter on? Valid types include article, preprint, review, book, book-chapter, dataset and dissertation.

Getting the data out
