OpenAlex

OpenAlex is an open catalog of scholarly works, authors, institutions, sources, topics, and related research metadata.

Permanently delete exactly one owned private OpenAlex collection and all of its collection memberships.
Download work content
Download an OpenAlex-cached PDF or gzipped GROBID TEI file for a work.
Get collection
Get metadata for one private OpenAlex collection owned by the connected user.
Get entity
Retrieve one OpenAlex work, author, source, institution, topic, keyword, publisher, funder, award, taxonomy item, country, continent, or language by its supported identifier.
Get rate limit status
Validate the connected OpenAlex API key and inspect daily budget, prepaid balance, reset timing, and current endpoint costs before expensive queries or downloads.

You paste an API key from OpenAlex on a page Composio hosts, so the key never passes through Definable.
