Get a single award

It's easy to get an award from the API with: /awards/<entity id>. Here's an example:

• Get the award with the OpenAlex ID G5453342221: https://api.openalex.org/awards/G5453342221

That will return an Award object, describing everything OpenAlex knows about the award with that ID.

You can make up to 50 of these queries at once by requesting a list of entities and filtering on IDs using OR syntax.

External IDs

You can look up awards using external IDs such as DOI:

• Get the award with DOI 10.3030/633053: https://api.openalex.org/awards/doi:10.3030/633053

Select fields

You can use select to limit the fields that are returned in an award object. More details are here.

• Display only the id and display_name for an award: https://api.openalex.org/awards/G5453342221?select=id,display_name
