Pricing and providers

Google Scholar API pricing: one API, 2 interchangeable providers

The cheapest provider serves first. If it fails, the next one takes over in the same call.

You pay
$8.50
$0.85/1k req, only for what you use. No monthly plan.
Your first 117 requests are free with the $0.10 starting balance.

requireFieldsarray
Optional; omit it and routing is unchanged, with the cheapest source serving. Name the output fields this request must be able to return, for example `year`, and it is served only by a source that returns every one of them. Fields you do not name are still returned whenever the serving source has them. This can raise your price: when the cheapest source cannot return a named field, a dearer source serves, and you are quoted and charged its price. A named field can still be absent on a record that genuinely lacks it. Naming a combination that no single source returns together is refused as invalid input, with no charge.

Response

JSON, one example value per field.

top level
  • foundboolean

    true

    True when at least one scholar result was returned.

  • reason"not_found"

    Present only when `found` is false, and says why there is no result. `not_found`: the source states the target does not exist, or returned nothing for it. A `found: false` answer is a successful call, not an error, and `costUsd` is what it actually cost.

You get back. Named, typed fields in the same shape whichever source answers.

FAQ

About the Google Scholar API

The AnyAPI Google Scholar API returns Google scholar data as normalized JSON from one POST call to /v1/run/google.scholar. Search Google Scholar for academic papers with title, authors, citation count, and PDF link. AnyAPI routes each request across 2 sources and falls back automatically when one fails. It costs from $0.85 per 1,000 requests, in US dollars with no subscription and no monthly minimum. Over the last 30 days, 100.0% of Google scholar calls through AnyAPI succeeded, with a median response time of 7.0 seconds across 1,286 measured calls.

It costs from $0.85 per 1,000 requests, in US dollars with no subscription and no monthly minimum. You fund one USD wallet and each call draws it down. Some failed wallet-funded requests incur processing charges that we pass through at cost, with no markup; the error response shows the amount charged.

Search Google Scholar for academic papers with title, authors, citation count, and PDF link. The response is normalized JSON with the same envelope every AnyAPI endpoint returns, so parsing a second endpoint is a change of URL and nothing else.

Over the last 30 days, 100.0% of Google scholar calls through AnyAPI succeeded, with a median response time of 7.0 seconds across 1,286 measured calls. These are AnyAPI's own measurements of traffic through the gateway, recomputed continuously, not a published service-level target.

Yes. A new AnyAPI account starts with $0.10 of free balance and no card required, which covers 117 Google Scholar calls at $0.00085 each.

AnyAPI asks the next of its 2 sources in the same request, cheapest first, so one source going down does not fail your call.

Send a POST request to https://api.getanyapi.com/v1/run/google.scholar with your AnyAPI key in an "Authorization: Bearer" header and the input as a JSON body. The same key and the same wallet work on every AnyAPI endpoint.

No. You add US dollars to one prepaid AnyAPI balance and each request draws it down. There is no monthly plan and no minimum, and the same balance pays for every AnyAPI endpoint.

Yes. Install @getanyapi/sdk from npm for TypeScript or getanyapi from pip for Python. Both call every AnyAPI endpoint with the same key, and any HTTP client works too.

Yes. An agent can connect to the AnyAPI MCP server at https://api.getanyapi.com/mcp, or create its own free-trial key with one unauthenticated POST to https://api.getanyapi.com/agent/signup and call this endpoint over HTTP.
