Badge request: google scholar cite

[lawpdas]

:clipboard: Description

Could you provide a badge for google scholar? This badge is used to show how many times a paper is cited. e.g: "cited by | 283"

:link: Data

Sorry, I do not know how to get the data. Maybe it can be crawled.

:microphone: Motivation

I want to write an awesome paper list, where I want to show the number of citations.

Hi. Thanks for the suggestion. but crawling or scraping from the web would not be a suitable apoproach. As noted in https://github.com/badges/shields/blob/7d452472defa0e0bd71d6443393e522e8457f856/CONTRIBUTING.md#badge-guidelines

Badges should not obtain data by scraping web pages - these are likely to break frequently. Whereas API publishers are incentivised to maintain a stable platform for their users, authors of web pages have no such incentive.

Feel free to re-open if there is a way of getting this data from an API or structured data source.

[lawpdas]

Thanks for your reply! I found an API to get the data "cited_by", but I don't know whether it could be used.

I vouched for Shield implementing an endpoint with something around Serpapi as @lawpdas pointed out. For example, using the "free" tier (100 queries per month), I can get:

https://serpapi.com/search.json?engine=google_scholar&q=ACPYPE-Antechamber+python+parser+interface&api_key=_your_serpapi_private_key

which gives (TLDR):

But we only need "total_results": 1040,. So, if the endpoint could use the api above and have something to cache this value for a month or so (this could be another variable as well), as long as the interested user is registered with Serpapi and is providing his/her api key (which would be part of the url anyway), that seem to be possible.

The "easiest" thing I can think right now it to tweak https://shields.io/endpoint so it can take key total_results, so I could test it right away...

Please, can someone reopen this issue?

Please, can someone reopen this issue?

Thanks for following up with additional detail, but no, I don't think it makes sense to reopen because fundamentally the calculus hasn't really changed.

For example, using the "free" tier (100 queries per month), I can get:

The reason being that this :point_up: is an exceptionally anemic limit that's far too low given the scale at which we operate.

The "easiest" thing I can think right now it to tweak https://shields.io/endpoint so it can take key total_results, so I could test it right away...

I'm not sure I'm correctly understanding what you're proposing here, but it sounds wrong to me. Custom endpoints are supposed to be self-contained, wherein any auth/info/etc. a custom endpoint needs to call some external API is contained within the custom endpoint itself.

If the 100 queries/month limit will work for your case, then I think your best bet probably is to create a Custom Endpoint. Alternatively, you could consider some approaches that use our underlying badge generation library, badge-maker, to generate/update the badge on some kind of recurring schedule and stash it somewhere it can be consumed as static content

[alanwilter]

Many thanks for your tips. In the end RunKit endpoint is the thing!

I got it to work!

100 queries may be low, but for citations... checking this once a month is pretty fine.

100 queries may be low, but for citations... checking this once a month is pretty fine.

Glad to hear, thanks for sharing! Are you caching the response locally as part of your endpoint implementation? We do have caching on the badges we return, but we don't cache raw responses from data sources (endpoint or otherwise), so I could see 100 badge requests that miss cache resulting in our servers making 100 calls to your endpoint, and accordingly your endpoint 100 calls to their API (in the absence of caching).

[alanwilter]

I was thinking about putting a very big cache time, like a month in seconds (2,592,000), would it be ok?

Also, it's not clear if cacheSeconds is int or string.

This is just for future reference, here's my How to Create a Citation Badge Using Google Scholar

https://github.com/alanwilter/acpype/wiki/Citation-Badge

[not-a-feature]

Or you can use this service: https://juleskreuer.eu/projekte/citation-badge/

For a markdown badge use: [![Citation Badge](https://api.juleskreuer.eu/citation-badge.php?doi=YOURDOI)](https://juleskreuer.eu/projekte/citation-badge/)

For a shield endpoint you can use: https://api.juleskreuer.eu/citation-badge.php?shield&doi=YOURDOI
