Google Scholar Organic Results API
Google Scholar main results are called organic results. Some results are simple and straightforward. Others include rich data like citations, resources, and other special snippets. SerpApi is able to scrape, extract, and make sense of both simple and more complex organic results.
API Examples
Organic results overview
When SerpApi encounters organic results, we add them to our JSON output as the array organic_results. For each organic result, we are able to extract its position, title, link, publication_info, snippet, resources, cited_by, versions, cached_page_link, related_pages_link and more.
