CORE connector for Okou

Connect CORE to search and retrieve open-access research metadata, statistics, related records, full-text files, and recommendation or discovery results through the CORE API.

Data & infrastructure · API Key

Use CORE in Okou

Use the CORE API for open-access research search, work and output metadata, journals, data providers, recommendations, full-text downloads, and DOI-based full-text discovery.

Once connected, supported CORE actions can become steps in a reusable workflow alongside the other services your team uses. Run the workflow once, on a schedule, or when an event starts it.

What you can do with CORE

  • Read CORE data-provider metadata, statistics, historical statistics, and that provider's output search results; each request consumes CORE API token allowance.
  • Run documented GET and POST searches across CORE works, outputs, data providers, or journals; query complexity affects token usage.
  • Discover full-text links from a DOI through CORE and other external sources; the request consumes CORE API token allowance.
  • Download a CORE output file through the documented API endpoint; direct PDF downloads count against the token allowance and are generally more expensive.
  • Read CORE journal metadata and statistics; each request consumes CORE API token allowance.
  • Run documented CORE search aggregation queries that return grouped counts; query complexity affects token usage.
  • Request CORE recommendations related to a record or text; CORE documents recommender calls as computationally expensive and token-consuming.
  • Download a CORE work file or parsed TEI representation through the documented API endpoints; full-text access is token-limited.

How the CORE connector works

A connected service becomes one permissioned step in the work you hand off.

  1. 1

    Connect CORE

    Choose API Key.

  2. 2

    Choose the work

    Use only the supported actions your workflow needs.

  3. 3

    Run it your way

    Start it once, schedule it, or attach an event trigger.

Connect CORE securely

Use the connection method that fits your account and grant only the access the workflow needs.

  • API Key

Connector access is controlled per service and per action, so a workflow does not need broader access than the work you ask it to do.
