Scholar Smart Search API

Search for academic and web materials using query. You can also filter publication dates with as_ylo and as_yhi.

Use cases

  • Find academic papers and scholarly articles by topic.
  • Filter scholarly search results within specific publication years.
  • Retrieve relevant research paper links and snippets for automated review.

Questions

FAQ

How do I use the Scholar Smart Search API?

Send a POST request to https://api.sandbase.ai/v1/api/scholar/search-mixed with your SandBase API key in the Authorization header (Bearer) and the parameters as a JSON body. You can also try it in the Playground on this page without writing code.

How much does the Scholar Smart Search API cost?

$0.0036 per call. Every organization gets 100 free calls per UTC day, shared across eligible SandBase APIs including this one; after that each call is billed at this price from your SandBase balance. There is no subscription.

What parameters does the Scholar Smart Search API accept?

Required: query (string). Optional: max_num_results (integer), as_ylo (integer) and as_yhi (integer). The Parameters table and the Playground on this page list every field.

What does the Scholar Smart Search API return?

A JSON response returned in the same HTTP request (synchronous). The README on this page includes a sample response.

Do I need a Scholar developer account or API key?

No. Scholar Smart Search runs through SandBase, so one SandBase API key covers this endpoint and every other API and model in the catalog. You do not need to apply for Scholar API access separately.
