Bidirectional Graph
Get both citing papers (who cited this) and referenced papers (what this cites) in a single request.
Auto-Detection
Accepts DOI, Semantic Scholar ID, ArXiv ID, PubMed ID, OpenAlex ID, or direct URL — auto-detects the type.
Pagination
Paginate through large citation networks with offset and limit controls for both citations and references.
Credit Costs
Simple, predictable pricing
per request (scales with results)
Minimum 2 credits per request. Cost scales with the total number of citations and references returned: max(2, ceil(totalResults / 50)).
