Scrape Google Patents (patents.google.com) by keyword, assignee, inventor, CPC, or publication number. One row per patent: title, inventors, assignees, dates, PDF link, and patent URL. Optional detail pass adds abstract, claims, forward citations (cited by), and related family links.

Public patent records only. No login. No AI generation of drawings or claims.

Notes

  • Patent text and drawings are typically published by patent offices (see USPTO terms). Google indexes them; this Actor does not claim to be an official Google API.
  • Prefer modest maxItems and schedules over bulk warehouse dumps (Google also publishes Patents Public Datasets on BigQuery for that).
  • Source acknowledgement example: United States Patent and Trademark Office / national offices via Google Patents.
