Semanticscholar: Search Papers
Semanticscholar via Parse · education
Search for academic papers by keyword query. Returns paginated results with each paper's title, authors, year, and citation count. Supports sorting by relevance (default, ranked by search relevance score) or by citation count descending. The total number of matching papers is included in the response. When sorted by relevance, uses the standard search API (subject to rate limits handled via proxy rotation). When sorted by citation count, uses the bulk search API for reliable results. Search academic papers on Semantic Scholar by keyword with sorting options, and retrieve detailed paper information including abstract and reference count. Fulfilled by Parse from www.semanticscholar.org.
