Choose this endpoint when you need structured JSON access to Google Scholar results with fine-grained filters like publication date ranges, citation lookups, language restrictions, article type (reviews vs all), and patent inclusion — especially when you want to avoid managing API keys, subscriptions, or accounts and prefer pay-per-call micropayment pricing via USDC.
