A Python module that queries and parses Google Scholar search results, extracting publication metadata, citation counts, PDF links, and BibTeX/EndNote exports. It can be used as a library or invoked as a command-line tool that outputs CSV, plain text, or citation formats.
Use cases
- scrape google scholar search results programmatically
- get citation counts for papers in python
- export google scholar results as bibtex
- find pdf links for academic publications
- query google scholar from the command line
- track citations of a specific article by cluster id
When to choose
- you need a simple scriptable way to pull Google Scholar metadata
- you want citation export formats like BibTeX or EndNote
- you prefer a lightweight library plus CLI in one package
When to avoid
- you need a maintained tool - the repo is archived and scraping likely breaks
- you need high query volumes - the author refuses to bypass Google's rate limits
- you need a sanctioned API rather than HTML scraping
