I would like to request adding to the web search in JabRef 3 very important websites.

Thanks!

Just a comment and link: We have an implementation of Google Scholar. It is broken, I could not bring it back - and the maintainer community decided that a work around using the browser plugin exsits: https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/pull/7075#issuecomment-856198942. I know that this is not a good solution. I wish, Google Scholar had an API. However, they do not have an API and one needs to do web scraping, which is a huge effort.

:-(

And do you think Nature and Science can be added?

@koppor @ThiloteE I have a suggestion, how about we use this API instead for Google Scholar?

Add is second implementation. Users need to register. Then they get 100 calls for free. If they want more, they pay 75 to 150 USD. https://serpapi.com/pricing - I think this is much money... Thus, we should try in parallel to scrape google scholar in other ways

Hmm right. Makes sense.

This should be fixed when https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/issues/11093 is implemented.
