Honestly, google api scholarly is a bit of a mixed bag. It’s great for free access to academic papers, but the setup can be a nightmare.
I found that using the `timeout` parameter helps with slow responses. Also, make sure you’re handling errors properly—sometimes the API just times out for no reason.
If you’re open to alternatives, check out Dimensions.ai. It’s a paid service, but the API is way more reliable and faster.
Here’s a quick tip: cache your results locally if you’re running multiple queries. It’ll save you a ton of time.
