How this service works

Academic paper and citation search API for AI agents: Google Scholar results as JSON with titles, publication details, snippets, paper links and cited-by counts when available. Supports topic queries, citation lookup and year filters for literature research. Provided by FastAF Google Scholar Search. Price: $0.005000 USDC per successful call.

Output

A JSON object with a 'scholar_results' array where each item contains the paper title, snippet/abstract excerpt, title link URL, displayed link, and inline_links object with cited-by total and cites_id for further lookups. May also include author names, publication name, and year depending on the result.

Example use cases

Academic literature survey on a topic

“Find me the top Google Scholar results for 'CRISPR gene editing cancer therapy' — I need the paper titles, authors, journals, years published, and how many times each has been cited.”

Track papers citing a landmark study

“Pull all the papers that cite Scholar article ID '18144988267209' and return them as structured data with titles, authors, and citation counts so I can see who's building on that work.”

Author publication discovery

“Search Google Scholar for papers by author:Yoshua Bengio on deep learning published after 2018, and give me the first page of results with titles, publication venues, and citation counts.”

Endpoint

GEThttps://api.fastaf.co/x402/v1/scholar?utm_source=zero.xyz

When to prefer

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, machine-readable academic paper data from Google Scholar — especially when you need citation counts, author lists, and publication metadata in JSON format without parsing HTML. Prefer this over general web search APIs when the use case is specifically academic literature discovery, citation tracking, or research surveys. The x402 micropayment model means you only pay per successful request.

Side effects

Query returns no results for very niche or misspelled searches
Invalid or expired cites/cluster ID returns empty or error response
Rate limiting or credit exhaustion prevents the request from completing
Scholar anti-scraping measures may occasionally return incomplete data
Page number beyond available results returns empty results array
