Yo, I feel your pain! google api scholarly can be a real headache at first. I spent hours trying to get it to work smoothly.
One thing that saved me was using the `max_results` parameter to limit the number of results. It speeds things up and makes it easier to debug. Also, make sure you’re using the latest version of the library—there were some bug fixes in the recent updates.
For alternatives, I’d recommend CrossRef or PubMed APIs if your research is more bio/med-focused. They’re way faster and easier to use.
Good luck!
