πŸ”— Semantic Scholar Citations Scraper

πŸš€ Export Semantic Scholar citations and references for any paper in seconds. Clean tabular records, ready for download.

The Semantic Scholar Citations Scraper turns the public Semantic Scholar graph API into a flat dataset of citing papers (or references), with citation intent, contexts, and influence flags.

Filter the source, pick how many rows you want, and download.

πŸ“‹ What the Semantic Scholar Citations Scraper does

  • Calls the public endpoint with the parameters you supply.
  • Parses each record into a flat row.
  • Casts numeric fields to numbers.
  • Surfaces upstream rate limits as a clean error record.
  • Exports to every Apify dataset download format.

πŸ’‘ Why it matters. A flat tabular shape drops straight into pandas, BigQuery, or a Google Sheet without further wrangling.

πŸ“Š Data fields

Each record includes: authors, citingPaperId, contextsCount, doi, influential, intent, paperId, results, scrapedAt, title, venue, year. These field names come straight from the actor's dataset schema, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.

⚠️ Good to Know. The upstream public API may rate-limit aggressive callers. The actor surfaces rate-limit notes as a clean error record instead of crashing.
