ScholarScrape

Basic node.js based Google Scholar citations scraper with built-in caching. Demo here fetching Einstein's citations.

Requirements

• Node.js
• NPM

Installation

• git clone or download
• Run npm install
• Add port you wish server to run on to config.json
• Add how long each scholar ID's data should be kept as cacheDays in config.json
• Run node index.js to run webserver on selected port on localhost, e.g localhost:2888

Usage

• Only one URL endpoint is available, the Google Scholar ID. For example http://localhost:7888/qc6CJjYAAAAJ&hl
• Everything is output as one aggregated file with static HTML and CSS for easy embedding.

Customisation / styling

• The output template code in index.js should be easy enough to change, as should the styling in style.css.
