Google Scholar Author Metrics API - Citations & h-index
Pricing
from $10.00 / 1,000 author profiles
Scrape any Google Scholar author profile into one clean row: total and recent citations, h-index, i10-index, the year-by-year citation histogram, the complete publication list and the co-authors. For research offices, hiring committees and bibliometrics — by profile ID or profile URL.
Full Scholar citations URLs (https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=...). Accepted instead of, or alongside, author_ids — the user id is extracted.
[ "https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=JicYPdAAAAAJ&hl=en"]Include the author's publication list (title, authors, venue, year, cited-by count). Turn off for a metrics-only, faster run.
Cap the publication list per author (0 = all, paginated). Each extra page of 100 is another request to Scholar.
Scholar UI language (en, de, fr, es…). Metric parsing expects the English labels Scholar shows for hl=en — keep hl=en for complete metrics.
Default ON. Routes requests through the rotating proxy with automatic IP-rotation retry, which Scholar's per-address limit needs for volume. Disable to fetch directly from the Apify datacenter IP.
