1. Read current provider setup, allowed data handling and pricing.
2. Basic access can work without a key. A free API key raises the daily budget; some features have separate charges.
3. Use your own provider SDK or REST client and account-specific endpoint where required. Credentials remain with your client.
4. Try a small authorized task. Evaluate the output against your requirements.
5. Record a private attempt in your workspace. Publish feedback only after reviewing it.

Work records describe scholarly outputs; they do not guarantee open full text. Use stable OpenAlex/DOI identifiers.

Dated task assertions

Only the assertion below was checked. Local PDF tests use generated English documents. These results do not measure customer success, OCR accuracy or future availability. Tests older than 30 days do not count as a recent pass in task planning.

No execution test for this service. Do not treat documented capability as tested.

Repeat with your own criteria

SDK end-to-end checks: public research, local field provenance, unsupported scans and cancellation · Run the workflows

Run the local PDF fixtures with npm test in the downloadable example. Research test queries and tools are included in the JSON report. Initialize the provider and inspect tools/list before repeating them. No test runs automatically against your files.
