03Credentials
Credentials you will need.
- No credentials
- An API key
Public endpoints answer without credentials; for the rest, OpenAlex uses an API key.
04How it works
How it works in DataMind.
-
Pick OpenAlex.
Open Lake, pick OpenAlex in the source picker and name the connection. Connect Any API opens with a ready prompt that points the AI at the OpenAlex API docs.
-
Answer a few questions.
The AI reads the OpenAlex documentation, then asks which credentials you will use, which data to sync (for example works and authors), whether you want a one-time load or a recurring sync, and which accounts or filters apply.
-
Your data lands in Lake.
It builds the connector, tests it and shows you sample rows. Then OpenAlex data loads into your Lake on your schedule, ready for the Warehouse, DataPrism BI and AI Minds.
