OpenAlex Graph Navigator

Explore the OpenAlex academic knowledge graph through ExoPriors Scry. This skill gives you structured access to 230M+ scholarly works, their authors, institutions, concepts, and citation links -- all queryable via SQL over the Scry API.

Mental model

OpenAlex is an open catalogue of scholarly works, authors, institutions, and concepts. ExoPriors mirrors the OpenAlex graph into dedicated Postgres tables and exposes it through the Scry read-only SQL interface. The graph has five node types connected by junction tables:

  Authors ---[authorships]---> Works ---[references]---> Works
     |                           |
     |                       [concepts]
     |                           |
     v                           v
  Institutions               Concepts

Every node has a typed ID: W for works, A for authors, I for institutions, C for concepts. These IDs are stable OpenAlex identifiers.
