Yeah, the google scholar api is a pain. Officially, there isn’t one, so most folks scrape or use unofficial wrappers.

I’ve had luck with scholarly (Python lib)—it’s not perfect but gets the job done for metadata and citations.

Watch out for rate limits though. Pro tip: rotate user-agents and use delays between requests.

If you need something more reliable, check out CrossRef or Semantic Scholar’s API—way better docs and legit access.
