Research Paper Scraper

MonitoringOpenAlex

Scholar scrapers fail because Scholar blocks them. OpenAlex is open, keyless and unblockable. Three fields Scholar will not give you: the abstract rebuilt from the inverted index it ships instead of prose, field-weighted impact so citations compare across fields, and 134,038 retraction flags.
