Google Scholar API
Unlock a wealth of academic resources by scraping Google Scholar via our SERP API.
To tap into this specialized capability, append the engine=google_scholar parameter to your request.
Google Scholar stands as a premier search engine dedicated to academic and scholarly content. By leveraging our SERP API, you gain immediate and efficient access to real-time search results from Google Scholar. To harness this, simply align your request to engage the google_scholar engine. Furthermore, the Google Scholar API provides a plethora of customization options through specific parameters, ensuring tailored and precise results for your academic inquiries.
