📋 What the Semantic Scholar Scraper does
Six search filters:
- 🔍 Keyword search. Free-text search across titles and abstracts.
- 🔗 URL mode. Paste a direct Semantic Scholar search URL.
- 👤 Author filter. Search by author name.
- 📅 Year range. Min and max publication year.
- 📄 PDF filter. Only papers with available PDFs.
- 🏛️ Venue filter. Conference or journal name.
Each paper record includes title, abstract, authors (with IDs), citation count, reference count, year, venue, DOI, fields of study, PDF URL, and Semantic Scholar URL.
💡 Why it matters: searching for papers one at a time on Semantic Scholar or Google Scholar is slow and doesn't support bulk export. This Actor downloads structured academic data at scale for systematic reviews, bibliometric analysis, or research intelligence.
