What is the request rate limit for the Microsoft Academic API?


What is the request rate limit for the Microsoft Academic API? I cannot seem to find it documented anywhere.


Solution

  • It is 10,000 transactions per month for the free tier as stated here and 3 per second for interpret, 1 per second for evaluate, 6 per minute for calcHistogram as stated here

    UPDATE

    The Cognitive Service Academic Knowledge API was rebranded to Project Academic Knowledge API which can be accessed through this link for more details.

    Microsoft Academic Services documentation can be accessed through this link.

    UPDATE

    It was announced on May 4, 2021 that Microsoft Academic website and underlying APIs will be retired on Dec. 31, 2021 as stated in this blog post.

    Microsoft Research will continue to support the automated AI agents powering Microsoft Academic services through the end of calendar year 2021. During this time, we encourage existing Microsoft Academic users to begin transitioning to other equivalent services. Below are just a few of the many great options available to the community.

    What this means for each service:

    • Microsoft Academic Website: No longer accessible after Dec. 31, 2021
    • Project Academic Knowledge: No longer accessible after Dec. 31, 2021
    • Microsoft Academic Graph/Microsoft Academic Knowledge Exploration Service: No longer providing updated data or access to old releases
      after Dec. 31, 2021; however, existing copies can still be used under license.
