Fully rewritten OpenAlex is live (beta)!

[Jason Priem]

It’s a HUGE week at OpenAlex: a new org structure, a new logo, and now beta launch of our fully-rewritten codebase, codenamed "Walden."

Walden is faster, bigger, and more maintainable, with:
• 150M+ new works (articles, books, datasets, software, and more)
• Better metadata and consistency (Unpaywall + OpenAlex always agree)
• A solid foundation for new features rolling out in Q4

👉 Try it now:
• UI: click the 🧪 test-tube icon in the top right (or click here).
• API: add data-version=2 to your request (like this).
• OREO website: compare Classic dataset vs Walden and see what’s changed
