| | Rows in this dataset | 2,387 | |
| | Fields | 18 | |
| | Collector runs behind it | 50 | |
| | Most recent observation | 2026-08-04 | |
| | Browsable presentation | [https://reapx.dev/data/openalex-scraper/](https://reapx.dev/data/openalex-scraper/) — 2,387 entity pages | |
| | Run the collector yourself | [https://apify.com/reapx/openalex-scraper](https://apify.com/reapx/openalex-scraper) | |
|
|
| ## What this is |
|
|
| Every row here was returned by a real run of a public collector. Nothing is generated from a |
| template over a keyword list: a row exists because a run observed it. |
|
|
| A browsable presentation of the subset that carries an addressable `paperId` is published as |
| 2,387 entity pages at [https://reapx.dev/data/openalex-scraper/](https://reapx.dev/data/openalex-scraper/), one page per entity. **This dataset is |
| the larger of the two** — rows whose payload has no field that can address a page are here and |
| are not published there. |
|
|
| ## Provenance |
|
|
| Each row carries `_run_id` and `_dataset_id`, naming the collector run that produced it, so any |
| row can be traced back to the run that observed it. Rows observed by more than one run are |
| deduplicated on content; 113 duplicate observations were collapsed. |
|
|
| ## Files |
|
|
| - `openalex-scraper.jsonl` — one JSON object per row, the canonical form |
| - `openalex-scraper.csv` — the same rows flattened; nested values are JSON-encoded within their cell |
| so they round-trip |
| - `dataset.json` — schema.org `Dataset` metadata |
|
|
| ## Loading it |
|
|
| ```python |
| from datasets import load_dataset |
| ds = load_dataset("reapxdev/openalex-scraper", split="train") |
