Hey! I’ve been using google api scholarly for a few months now, and it’s been a lifesaver for my thesis.
For filtering, try using the `cluster_id` parameter to group similar papers. It’s super helpful for organizing results. Also, the `citedby` parameter is great for finding related work.
Performance-wise, it’s definitely not the fastest, but I’ve found that using async requests helps a lot.
If you’re looking for alternatives, I’d recommend OpenAlex. It’s free and has a similar dataset.
