Crossref DOI Scraper
Search Crossref publications or resolve exact DOIs into titles, authors, affiliations, publishers, journals, dates, identifiers, licenses, and citation indicators.
What you get
Run broad metadata searches, apply publication-date and work-type filters, or submit DOI strings for direct resolution. Each work becomes a clean row for bibliography enrichment, research discovery, editorial systems, libraries, and scheduled metadata refreshes.

Use cases
- Libraries: enrich and refresh bibliographic catalogs.
- Researchers: find publications by topic, author, journal, or publisher.
- Editors: resolve DOI submissions into consistent metadata.
- Developers: build citation, discovery, and reference-management pipelines.
Limitations
Crossref metadata is deposited by members and varies in completeness. Authors, affiliations, abstracts, licenses, and dates can be missing or formatted differently. Citation indicators need not match other indexes. Use the canonical DOI URL to verify important publication details.
Compared to alternatives
Compared with ryanclinton/crossref-paper-search, this Actor supports both search and exact DOI resolution plus date and work-type filters. Compared with parseforge/crossref-scraper, it exposes affiliations, ORCIDs, ISSNs, ISBNs, license links, deposited references, and several publication dates for enrichment workflows.
FAQ

What should I put in workType?
Use a Crossref type such as journal-article, proceedings-article, book, or dataset.
Is an email required?
No. Supplying one follows Crossref etiquette and can improve service routing.
