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.
Keywords: google patents scraper · google patents api · patent search scraper · patent citations · patent family · prior art search
What it does
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Input: searchQueries + maxItems |
| 2 | Calls the public Google Patents search endpoint and normalizes each hit |
| 3 | Optional: scrapeDetails opens each /patent/… page for abstract, claims, citations |
| 4 | Pushes one clean JSON row per publication number |
Sibling Actor for published drawing sheets: google-patents-figures.
Input
| Field | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
searchQueries | No | Queries as on Google Patents. Default lithium battery |
maxItems | No | 1–500 rows (default 25) |
scrapeDetails | No | false by default. Turns on abstract / claims / citations |
proxyConfiguration | No | RESIDENTIAL US on Apify |
Example (Try it)
{"searchQueries": ["lithium battery"],"maxItems": 20,"scrapeDetails": false,"proxyConfiguration": {"useApifyProxy": true,"apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"],"apifyProxyCountry": "US"}}
Output (one patent per row)
| Field | Notes |
|---|---|
publicationNumber / title / snippet | From search |
inventors / assignees | Arrays |
priorityDate / filingDate / publicationDate / grantDate | When present |
pdfUrl / patentUrl / thumbnailUrl | Links |
abstract / claims / forwardCitations / familyMembers | Filled when scrapeDetails is true |
If nothing matches, one row with error=true and an actionable errorMessage.
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
maxItemsand 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.
