Hi, i’ve seen in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5akwF-aXKlc&list=PLe06345JQjNbCjTTQjO8_62HLdDS-MV3n&index=20 a way to query an openalex corpus directly with the URL of the results in the API.
How can I proceed please? In the video at 9:23 I see that there is already a corpus load called small.db
Thanks by advance
Béatrice

Ni! Hello, Béatrice,
The ability to download corpora directly from OpenAlex is still experimental.
Due to a limitation in the Manager, there is no way to start a script in the absence of a preexisting corpus.
If you want to try the “Corpus acquisition from OpenAlex” operation, first upload any corpus and integrate it to your project with the “Data parsing” operation. Then you’ll be able to choose the desired operation (it’s currently the last one in the list) and download a corpus.
Does that answer your question?
