How do I improve the request rate limits?

Initialize the client with your email address to access the 'polite pool,' which increases the limit from 1 to 10 requests per second.

Does this skill require an API key?

No, OpenAlex is a completely open database and does not require an API key for access.

Can I search for papers by a specific author name?

Yes, though the best practice is to first search for the entity to retrieve a unique OpenAlex ID and then query for works associated with that ID.

What kind of data can I retrieve with this skill?

You can access comprehensive metadata for scholarly works, disambiguated authors, research institutions, journals (sources), topics, publishers, and funders.

Is the data limited to specific scientific disciplines?

No, OpenAlex covers the entire spectrum of scholarly research, including STEM, social sciences, and humanities, spanning over 240 million individual works.
