Endpoints (9 live)

• GET /api/paper — Single-paper lookup by DOI or title for research agents — citation count, influence, open-access status with a direct legal-OA link (Unpaywall), venue, and a TLDR. Deterministic passthrough over OpenAlex + Semantic Scholar + Unpaywall, no synthesis, cheap and fast. (0.02 USDC on Solana)
• GET /api/institution — Institution research-output benchmark for grant offices, research-strategy agents, and comparison shopping — works count, total citations, h-index/i10-index, a 10-year output/citation trend, and topic-strength breakdown (OpenAlex). Optionally benchmark two institutions side by side. (0.02 USDC on Solana)
• GET /api/ref-check — Bibliography verification for AI research agents — POST up to 20 citations (DOIs or free-text references) and get a per-reference verdict: exists/not-found, retracted/withdrawn (Crossref + Retraction Watch + OpenAlex), and title/author/year mismatches against a real record. Built for agents auditing LLM-generated bibliographies before a citation ships. (0.02 USDC on Solana)
• GET /api/author — Author metrics for research agents and grant/hiring due-diligence — works count, total citations, h-index and i10-index (OpenAlex summary stats), a 10-year output/citation trend, affiliation timeline, and an honest disambiguation-confidence flag when the name search surfaces multiple plausible candidate profiles. (0.02 USDC on Solana)
• GET /api/topic-scan — Rising-topics scan for a research field — retrieves top-cited/recent works from OpenAlex for a topic and synthesizes what's currently rising, what's foundational, and where coverage is thin. Built for research-strategy agents scanning a field before a literature review or grant proposal. (0.2 USDC on Base)
• GET /api/funder-impact — Funder research-impact brief — what a funder's grants have produced, grounded in OpenAlex's grants.funder-linked works (highest-impact papers, field distribution). Built for grant-strategy agents and program officers scoping a funder's track record before applying or partnering. (0.2 USDC on Solana)
• GET /api/literature-brief — State-of-research synthesis for a specific question — grounded in top OpenAlex + Semantic Scholar results with full citations (DOIs). Built for AI research agents that need a citation-backed starting point fast; explicitly not a substitute for a full systematic review. (0.25 USDC on Solana)
• GET /api/journal — Venue/journal intelligence for authors and research agents deciding where to submit or whether to trust a citation's source — OpenAlex metrics (works, citations, DOAJ status, APC) plus Tavily-grounded, cited legitimacy signals. Never renders a bare predatory/legitimate verdict — evidence list + neutral framing only. (0.1 USDC on Solana)
• POST /api/ref-check — Bibliography verification for AI research agents — POST up to 20 citations (DOIs or free-text references) and get a per-reference verdict: exists/not-found, retracted/withdrawn (Crossref + Retraction Watch + OpenAlex), and title/author/year mismatches against a real record. Built for agents auditing LLM-generated bibliographies before a citation ships. (0.02 USDC on Base)
