Do I need an API key to use the OpenAlex Database skill?

No, OpenAlex is a completely open and free catalog. However, adding your email address to the client configuration allows you to access the 'polite pool' for 10x higher rate limits.

Can I use this skill for large-scale data extraction?

Yes, the skill includes built-in pagination, batch lookup features, and sampling parameters designed to efficiently retrieve thousands of records for analysis.

What types of academic entities can I search for?

You can query seven major entity types: works (articles, books), authors, institutions (universities), sources (journals), topics, publishers, and funders.

Why does the skill use a 'two-step' pattern for entity lookups?

Searching by name alone can be ambiguous. The skill first identifies the unique OpenAlex ID for an entity (like an author) and then uses that ID to filter works, ensuring 100% accuracy in your results.
