CORE
CORE aggregates full text and metadata from open-access repositories and journals worldwide into a single searchable index of tens of millions of works. A handful of keyless requests succeed at a heavily throttled rate, but real use requires registering for a free API key, with higher-volume and commercial access sold as paid tiers.

- Sign up with the provider to get an API key.
- Send it on every request as a header
Authorization: <key> - The exact header isn't documented — Authorization is a common default; confirm in the provider's docs.
