Sorry I know I'm late to this thread, but just wanted to mention the oaDOI
API, which could be helpful depending on your goals.

We can easily handle 225k DOIs if you spread them out over a few hours...we
currently serve 500k DOIs daily, and have handled 2M daily in the past with
no trouble. Response time is about 200ms at that load.

We also have a data dump so you could store it all locally and make it as
fast as you like, if you want to put the resources into that.

We currently have records for all 90M DOIs, and OA locations for ~10M of
them. We're in the middle of a large rolling update (v2) that will add
links to another 7M or so hybrid DOIs.

ResearchGate and Academia.edu resources are not included in the index,
which is either a feature or a bug depending on your goals :)

FWIW, we now have an evaluation set
<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kC9A9WscsPr-N3r8ULZYjTZdJb3NdhrbMtGlJSHJn-M/edit#gid=263352758>
comparing oaDOI v1, oaDOI v2, the Dissemin API, and the Open Access Button
API. oaDOI v2 is currently putting up the best numbers, particularly in
precision (low false positives)

There are some qualifiers, though. The evaluation set is a random sample of
all DOIs, across all years. We count RG as closed. The gold standard is
manual coding based on Google and Google Scholar searches, which was done
independently (by Lisa Matthias and Juan Alperin, coauthors on our recent
paper <https://peerj.com/preprints/3119v1/>).

So feel free to interpret accordingly :). But we think it might be helpful,
particularly since it's quite time-consuming to create the manual gold
standard of availability (and without this there tend to be a lot of false
positives).

Feel free to ignore if it's not what you're looking for. Happy to help (or
not) any way we can!
Best,
J
