Overview
What you can collect
Research data is often public, but it is spread across many sites. Each site has its own search and format. Our tools bring this data into one clean table.
Search papers on arXiv and Europe PMC. Watch for new papers and new versions. Search ClinicalTrials.gov for studies and track their status. Get details for patents from Google Patents.
For data and citations, search DataCite datasets. Turn DOIs into full metadata and bibliography entries.
We also cover nature and culture. Search GBIF for species records. Search open art at The Met and the Art Institute of Chicago. Track Wikipedia page views over time.
Most tools use official public APIs. You do not need to write code or handle paging. All tools run on Apify. Export to CSV, JSON or Excel. You pay for use on Apify.
