Get a single source
It's easy to get a source from from the API with:
/sources/<entity_id>
. Here's an example:That will return an
Source
object, describing everything OpenAlex knows about the source with that ID:{
"id": "https://openalex.org/S137773608",
"issn_l": "0028-0836",
"issn": [
"1476-4687",
"0028-0836"
],
"display_name": "Nature",
// 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.
Sources are also available via an alias:
/journals
You can look up journals using external IDs such as an ISSN:
Available external IDs for sources are:
External ID | URN |
---|---|
ISSN | issn |
Fatcat | fatcat |
Microsoft Academic Graph (MAG) | mag |
Wikidata | wikidata |
