The best way to search for topics is to use the search
query parameter, which searches the display_name
, description
, and keyword
fields. Example:
Search topics' display_name
and description
for "artificial intelligence":
https://api.openalex.org/topics?search=artificial intelligence
You can also use search as a filter, allowing you to fine-tune the fields you're searching over. To do this, you append .search
to the end of the property you are filtering for:
Get topics with "medical" in the display_name
:
https://api.openalex.org/topics?filter=display_name.search:medical
The following fields can be searched as a filter within topics:
You can also use the filter default.search
, which works the same as using the search
parameter.
