🔢 OEIS Integer Sequences Scraper

🚀 Export integer sequences from the OEIS in seconds. Search 370,000+ sequences by A-number, keyword, or matching terms. Pull terms, formulas, references, authors, cross-references, and program code (Maple, Mathematica, Python, more).

🕒 Last updated: 2026-05-22 · 📊 22 fields per record · 🔢 370,000+ sequences · 🧠 OEIS Foundation source · 💻 Multi-language programs

The OEIS Integer Sequences Scraper taps the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, the canonical reference for integer sequences in mathematics. Maintained since 1964 by Neil Sloane and the OEIS Foundation, the database now indexes more than 370,000 sequences, each curated with terms, formulas, generating functions, references, code, and cross-links.

This Actor returns 22 structured fields per record, including the A-number, name, full numeric data, term array, offset, keywords, author, creation and revision dates, comments, references, links, formulas, examples, Maple and Mathematica snippets, multi-language program code, and cross-references to related sequences.

🎯 Target Audience	💡 Primary Use Cases
Mathematicians, ML feature engineers, programmers, combinatorialists, recreational math fans, educators, puzzle designers	Pattern recognition, sequence identification, code generation reference, OEIS-grounded LLM features, ML training data, problem-set curation

📋 What the OEIS Integer Sequences Scraper does

Flexible OEIS search syntax in a single Actor:

🔢 A-number lookup. id:A000045 returns Fibonacci.
📛 Keyword search. fibonacci, prime, partition, permutation.
🧮 Match by terms. Paste a comma-separated sequence (1,1,2,3,5,8) and OEIS finds matching entries.
🏷️ Filter by keywords. Combine with OEIS-curated tags like core, easy, nice, tabl, nonn.
🧑‍🔬 Author filter. author:Sloane narrows to entries by a specific contributor.

Each record includes the A-number, sequence values (string and parsed array), offset, OEIS keywords, author byline, creation and revision dates, prose comments, bibliographic references, hyperlinks, mathematical formulas, worked examples, Maple/Mathematica/program code, and cross-references to related A-numbers.

💡 Why it matters: OEIS is the de facto authority for "what sequence is this?" Building your own client means crawling HTML, parsing free-text fields, and handling Sloane's idiosyncratic flat-file format. This Actor delivers a tidy schema with terms already parsed into an array.

⚙️ Input

Input	Type	Default	Behavior
maxItems	integer	10	Records to return. Free plan caps at 10, paid plan at 1,000,000.
searchQuery	string	"fibonacci"	Native OEIS search syntax (A-number, keyword, terms, or combined query).
keywords	string[]	[]	Optional list of OEIS keyword filters (intersected with searchQuery).

Example: pull the Fibonacci sequence by A-number.

{
"maxItems":1,
"searchQuery":"id:A000045"
}

Example: find essential ("core") sequences related to primes.

{
"maxItems":20,
"searchQuery":"prime",
"keywords":["core","nice"]
}

Example: identify a mystery sequence by matching terms.

{
"maxItems":5,
"searchQuery":"1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21"
}

⚠️ Good to Know: OEIS search returns results in paginated batches. The Actor paginates automatically and respects polite request pacing so you avoid being rate-limited.

📊 Output

Each record contains 22 fields. Download the dataset as CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

🧩 How does it work?

Enter a search query using native OEIS syntax (A-number, keyword, comma-separated terms, or a combined expression), optionally add keyword filters, and click Start. The Actor paginates results and emits one structured record per sequence.

📏 How accurate is the data?

Records mirror the live OEIS feed. OEIS is curated by Neil Sloane and a global volunteer editorial board, with every change peer-reviewed before publication.

🔁 How often is the dataset refreshed?

OEIS is updated daily as editors approve new sequences and revisions. Every Actor run reflects the current OEIS state.

🔍 Can I identify a sequence from just a few terms?

Yes. Paste the terms as a comma-separated query (e.g. 1,1,2,3,5,8) and OEIS returns matching sequences ranked by relevance.

⏰ Can I schedule regular runs?

Yes. Use Apify Schedules to run this Actor on any cron interval and keep a downstream search index in sync.

⚖️ Is this data legal to use?

OEIS publishes under a Creative Commons license. Review the specific CC terms for the sequences you use, but most reuse is permitted with attribution.

💼 Can I use this data commercially?

Generally yes, subject to the OEIS Creative Commons license. Attribute the OEIS Foundation when you redistribute or build derivative works.

💳 Do I need a paid Apify plan to use this Actor?

No. The free Apify plan is enough for testing and small runs (10 records per run). A paid plan lifts the limit and gives you access to scheduling, higher concurrency, and larger datasets.

🔁 What happens if a run fails or gets interrupted?

Apify automatically retries transient errors. If a run still fails, you can inspect the log in the Runs tab, fix the input, and re-run. Partial datasets from failed runs are preserved so you never lose progress.
