Venue/journal intelligence for authors and research agents deciding where to submit or whether to trust a citation's source — OpenAlex metrics (works, citations, DOAJ status, APC)

Venue/journal intelligence for authors and research agents deciding where to submit or whether to trust a citation's source — OpenAlex metrics (works, citations, DOAJ status, APC) plus Tavily-grounded, cited legitimacy signals. Never renders a bare predatory/legitimate verdict — evidence list + neutral framing only.

price-ascending: candidates are ordered by the listed price of the operation, with no managed-first preference applied. Unlike /v1/apis, this surface does not rank Apiosk-settled listings above federated ones — a comparison that reorders on commercial grounds is not a comparison. Pass sort=managed_first for the catalog's ordering.

Compared: listed price, settlement rail and input compatibility. Not measured yet: latency, reliability, result quality, and provider terms such as rate limits, jurisdiction and licensing.
