DOE OSTI Scientific & Technical Reports Scraper
Extract structured metadata for U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI) reports — the authoritative repository of DOE-funded research output covering fusion energy, nuclear science, renewable energy, climate, materials science, high-energy physics, biology, and more.
OSTI hosts over 3 million scientific records, including technical reports, journal articles, conference papers, theses, and patents produced by DOE national laboratories and grantees. This Actor turns that catalog into clean JSON ready for competitive intelligence, prior-art search, RAG pipelines, and research-trend analysis.
Key Features
- Full-text search — Free-text query across titles, abstracts, and authors
- Subject filtering — Narrow to specific DOE subject categories (fusion, solar, fission, etc.)
- Research org filter — Pull records from a specific national lab (Oak Ridge, Argonne, NREL, LBNL, etc.)
- Product-type filter — Technical Reports, Journal Articles, Theses, Conference Papers, Patents
- Year range filtering — Filter publications by date range
- No authentication required — Public OSTI API, no keys needed
- Rich metadata — Authors, sponsor orgs, research orgs, DOE contract numbers, DOIs, subjects
- Direct OSTI URL — Link to the full record on osti.gov for each result

How to Scrape OSTI Scientific Reports
- Open the DOE OSTI Reports Scraper on Apify Store
- (Optional) Enter a search query (e.g., "small modular reactor")
- (Optional) Filter by subject, research organization, product type, or year range
- Set max results
- Click Start — clean JSON is written to the default dataset
Pricing
This Actor uses pay-per-result pricing. The OSTI API is fast and bandwidth-light, so compute costs per run are small. Typical 1,000-record run finishes in well under a minute.
Use Cases
- Competitive intelligence — Track which national labs publish in your domain
- Prior-art search — Find DOE-funded prior art for patent prosecution
- Grant analysis — See which DOE contracts produce specific research outputs
- RAG pipelines — Build domain-specific knowledge bases on energy / physics / materials
- Researcher discovery — Identify domain experts and collaborators at national labs
