Scholar Web Search API
Search for academic and research-oriented web content using a query string in query. You can also filter results within specific publication years.
Use cases
- Find web resources relevant to scientific and academic research topics.
- Filter scholarly search results between specific lower and upper publication years.
- Retrieve academic search snippets and titles for automated literature discovery.
Request
curl -X POST "https://api.sandbase.ai/v1/api/scholar/search-web" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $SANDBASE_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"query": "OpenAI"}'
Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
query | string | Yes | Search query for scholarly materials. |
as_yhi | integer | No | Year of publication upper bound. |
as_ylo | integer | No | Year of publication lower bound. |
max_num_results | integer | No | Maximum number of search results to return, up to 100. |
Example response
Real response for the request above, trimmed to the main fields. User names and long IDs are masked.

Questions
FAQ
How do I use the Scholar Web Search API?
Send a POST request to https://api.sandbase.ai/v1/api/scholar/search-web 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 Web 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 Web 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 Web 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 Web 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.
