Scholar Search

Search OpenAlex — an open catalog of 250M+ scholarly works — for papers across every major venue (not just arXiv). Returns structured JSON including citation counts, venue, reconstructed abstracts, and external IDs linking to arXiv / DOI / PubMed.

Why OpenAlex (not Semantic Scholar)

Both cover roughly the same data. OpenAlex wins on:

• No API key required. The free public endpoint just works.
• Generous rate limits. 10 req/sec anonymous, higher in the polite pool.
• Actually usable at scale. Semantic Scholar's public tier is shared and 429s are constant.
