How this service works
Google Scholar search (papers with citation counts) for AI agents at $0.004 per call, from the same Serper.dev source as /web/search. Send a query, get back compact JSON: top papers with position, title, url, publication info, snippet, year and citation count. Tune with num (1-10 results), country and language (2-letter codes). Zero results is a valid, honest answer. Pay per call in USDC on Base, no account, no API key.
Output
Returns compact JSON with an ordered list of academic papers, each containing: position, title, URL, publication info (journal/authors), snippet, publication year, and citation count. Zero results is a valid response when no papers match the query.
Example use cases
Academic literature review for a topic
“Search Google Scholar for the 10 most-cited papers on mRNA vaccine efficacy and give me each paper's title, publication info, year, and citation count.”
Finding recent research for a specific field
“Look up recent Google Scholar papers on large language model alignment published after 2022 — I want the top 5 results with their citation counts and links.”
Competitive academic landscape analysis
“Search Google Scholar for papers about quantum error correction and return the top 8 results with citation counts so I can see which research groups are leading the field.”

Endpoint
POSThttps://agentdata-api.sander-van-aard.workers.dev/web/scholarWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need academic paper search results with citation counts, sourced from Google Scholar, without setting up an account or API key — paying per call in USDC on Base via x402. Prefer this over general web search endpoints when the user specifically wants peer-reviewed, scholarly, or academic content with citation metadata. Choose this over direct Serper.dev integration when you need a pay-per-call model with no subscription commitment.
Side effects
- Query returns zero results (valid honest response, not an error)
- Malformed query causes upstream Serper.dev failure
- Payment not received or insufficient USDC balance causes 402 rejection
- Invalid country or language code may produce unexpected results
- num parameter outside 1-10 range may be rejected or clamped
