## What it is
A tutorial repository with example Python code showing how to scrape Google Scholar results (titles, authors, citation counts, PDF links) using Oxylabs' SERP/Web Scraper API. It is essentially documentation and sample code for a commercial scraping service, not a standalone scraping library.

## Use cases
- scrape google scholar search results with python
- extract citation counts and authors from google scholar
- get structured  from google scholar queries
- download pdf links from google scholar articles
- learn how to use oxylabs scraper api for academic search
- paginate google scholar results programmatically

## When to choose
- you already have or plan to buy an Oxylabs Scraper API subscription
- you want a maintained, low-effort way to get structured Google Scholar data without parsing HTML
- you need a quick working example to integrate Scholar scraping into Python code

## When to avoid
- you want a free, self-hosted scraper with no paid API dependency
- you need a reusable library or CLI tool rather than a tutorial with sample scripts
- you cannot use third-party proxy services due to policy or budget constraints
