Google Scholar is served through the Universal Web Scraper API

You scrape Google Scholar with Chocodata's Universal Web Scraper API: point it at any Google Scholar URL and get the page back as structured JSON.

About Google Scholar

Google Scholar is a free academic search engine that indexes scholarly papers, theses, books, and citations across disciplines. The result titles, authors, publication venue, year, citation counts, and links to PDF copies are the public fields worth scraping.

Scraping note: Google Scholar rate-limits automated traffic very aggressively and will quickly serve CAPTCHAs, so slow, proxy-rotated requests are essential.

Example Google Scholar page

https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=transformer+neural+networks

Pass a URL like this as url= to the Universal Web Scraper API and get it back as JSON.

Fields you can extract from Google Scholar

check_small paper title check_small authors check_small publication venue check_small year check_small cited-by count check_small PDF link

Common use: A research-analytics product scrapes Google Scholar to build citation graphs and track how often a given paper or author is cited over time.

Everything you need to scrape Google Scholar

You never expose your own IP, you get validated JSON instead of raw HTML, and the free tier covers google scholar scraper at 1,000 requests a month with no card required.

Google Scholar Scraper API FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Google Scholar?

expand_more
Scraping publicly accessible Google Scholar data is generally legal in the US under the Ninth Circuit's hiQ v. LinkedIn ruling, which held that scraping public web data does not violate the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. It does not override Google Scholar's own Terms of Service, which are a contract matter, so check those for your use case and comply with data laws such as GDPR. This is general information, not legal advice.

How do I scrape Google Scholar without getting blocked?

expand_more
You scrape Google Scholar without getting blocked by sending the URL to the Universal Web Scraper API, which fetches it through rotating residential proxies and retries on soft blocks. Your own IP is never used, so Google Scholar's anti-bot layer sees ordinary residential traffic instead of a server.

What data does the Google Scholar Scraper API return?

expand_more
Through the Universal Web Scraper API you get the Google Scholar page back as JSON: rendered HTML, plain text, or auto-parsed content depending on the parse mode you pass. You choose the URL, Chocodata returns the data.

How much does the Google Scholar Scraper API cost?

expand_more
The Google Scholar Scraper API costs nothing to start: the Free plan includes 1,000 requests per month (5,000 credits) across all 235 targets. After that, monthly plans begin at $19, or you top up pay-as-you-go at $0.90 per 1,000 successful requests. One request is 5 credits, and non-2xx responses are never charged.

Do I need a Google Scholar account or login?

expand_more
No Google Scholar login is needed for public pages. You point the Universal Web Scraper API at a publicly accessible Google Scholar URL with your Chocodata API key; you do not hand over any Google Scholar credentials. Login-gated content is not supported.
