Google Scholar Scraper for Citation Data
Google Scholar SERPs run on JavaScript with active bot detection. Our stealth proxy and headless-browser layer handle both, so your client-side stays a thin HTTP call.

ScrapingBee simplified our day-to-day marketing and engineering operations a lot. We no longer have to worry about managing our own fleet of headless browsers, and we no longer have to spend days sourcing the right proxy provider

How it works
Manually collecting data from Google Scholar is slow, limited and hard to scale. That's why more and more teams choose our API.
Create an account - get instant access to API key and 1,000 free credits to get started
Install our Python SDK (or Node, Go, PHP, Ruby - pick your stack). Each Google Scholar scrape becomes a single function call. No proxy rotation, no headless Chrome to manage.
One HTTP call: your API key plus a Google Scholar URL. Behind the scenes we rotate proxies, fingerprint-spoof, and render JS. Clean response comes back ready to parse.
When Google Scholar pages need more, gain advanced parameters. render_js for JavaScript, stealth_proxy for CAPTCHAs, country_code for geo-targeting, ai_extract_rules for natural-language data extraction.

Scraping is 50% dealing with ever-changing HTML files and 50% massaging data into a useable format. ScrapingBee’s incredible AI feature can do both much better than I ever could. Now I can spend 100% of my time on what matters most; my business.

ScrapingBee helps us to retrieve information from sites that use very sophisticated mechanism to block unwanted traffic, we were struggling with those sites for some time now and I'm very glad that we found ScrapingBee.

Fantastic service: works flawlessly, best support I've experienced. It just works: and its parsing meta-language is wonderfully powerful. Most importantly, the support I've received has been superlative.
Mike P.,

Excellent service, glad we made the switch! We could always dedicate resources and build our own systems for everything... or we could simply call the scrapingBee API and focus on the data. It makes our work so much easier.
