get_scholarly_work

Active

declared in 0.1.0

Fetch a single scholarly work from OpenAlex by its OpenAlex ID (e.g. "W2741809807") or DOI (e.g. "10.1038/s41586-021-03819-2"). Returns the full record + reconstructed abstract and the works it CITES (referenced_works) — for backward citation-graph navigation. Use after search_works, or whenever you have a DOI/ID. (Named get_scholarly_work to avoid colliding with Crossref get_work.)
