x402 APIPassing, checked 4 h ago

Searches OpenAlex and Crossref for publications and returns each with its DOI, authors and their affiliations, publication year, venue, abstract, citation count and, where one exists, a direct link to a legally free full text with the licence it is offered under. OpenAlex stores abstracts as an inverted word index rather than text; it is reconstructed here, because the raw structure is unusable. Results can be filtered by year and restricted to open access.

Call it from code

The curl command shows the payment challenge. The JavaScript and Python versions pay and call, and never pay more than $0.005.

curl: see the payment challenge
# bash or zsh: see the payment challenge. Nothing is charged.
curl -sS -g -i -X POST 'https://research.halowerk.com/v1/paper-search' \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  --data-raw '{"doi":"beispiel","query":"beispiel"}'

# x402 v2 sends the challenge base64-encoded in the PAYMENT-REQUIRED header (v1 sends it in the body).
# To read the header:
curl -sS -g -o /dev/null -D - -X POST 'https://research.halowerk.com/v1/paper-search' \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  --data-raw '{"doi":"beispiel","query":"beispiel"}' \
