Google Patents Scraper

Search Google Patents and export the results as JSON, CSV or Excel: publication number, title, assignee, first inventor, priority / filing / grant / publication dates, country, status and PDF link. Switch on details to add the abstract, the claims, CPC classes, all inventors and assignees, legal status and events, citations, cited-by and the patent family.

No login and no API key. Inventors are output as names only, exactly as printed on the public patent record.

Plus a tiny run-start fee. See the Pricing tab for current prices; paid Apify plans get lower rates. Set a maximum cost per run in the Apify console and the Actor stops cleanly at that limit.

FAQ

How many patents can one run return? Google shows at most 1,000 results per search. For bigger runs the Actor slices the search by year and then by month and de-duplicates, so a broad query can reach thousands of patents.

Why does a run slow down? Google throttles automated traffic, so the Actor paces its requests and waits after a block; it switches to residential proxies by itself when needed.

Are machine-translated texts included? Yes, the English translation Google Patents shows for non-English documents is used.

Is the data legal advice or a legal-status guarantee? No. Status and dates are what Google Patents displays; verify with the patent office before relying on them.

Use cases

Prior-art and landscape research, competitor R&D monitoring, assignee portfolios, technology scouting, citation analysis, investor due diligence, feeding patent text to AI pipelines.
