Get a single publisher
It's easy to get a publisher from from the API with:
/publishers/<entity_id>. Here's an example:- Get the publisher with the OpenAlex ID
P4310319965: https://api.openalex.org/publishers/P4310319965
That will return a
Publisher object, describing everything OpenAlex knows about the publisher with that ID:{
"id": "https://openalex.org/P4310319965",
"display_name": "Springer Nature",
"alternate_titles": [
"エイプレス",
"Springer Nature Group",
"施普林格-自然出版集团"
],
"hierarchy_level": 0,
// other fields removed for brevity
}
You can make up to 50 of these queries at once by requesting a list of entities and filtering on IDs using OR syntax.
You can look up publishers using external IDs such as a Wikidata ID:
Available external IDs for publishers are:
External ID | URN |
|---|---|
ROR | ror |
Wikidata | wikidata |
You can use
select to limit the fields that are returned in a publisher object. More details are here.- Display only the
