Semantic Scholar Plans Pricing
Semantic Scholar offers free API access to its academic graph. Unauthenticated requests share a rate-limited pool. A free API key (requested via the developer portal) provides a dedicated per-second rate. No paid commercial tiers are publicly listed; higher rate limits are granted on a case-by-case basis after review of the stated use case. Dataset bulk downloads require an API key and are also free.
