Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about XCrawl.

How does the Semantic Scholar Paper Scraper API work?
Our backend proxies requests to Semantic Scholar, intelligently parses responses, and delivers structured JSON via REST endpoints, managing all parsing and anti-bot challenges.
What factors determine pricing?
Costs scale with API requests, data volume extracted, scraper endpoints used, and crawl frequency; tiered plans offer volume discounts.
What data coverage and limitations apply?
Comprehensive public papers, authors, citations, and metrics; excludes paywalled PDFs or private data—focuses on openly accessible Semantic Scholar content.
Is usage legal and compliant?
Strictly for public data only; we recommend reviewing Semantic Scholar's ToS and robots.txt for ethical, responsible scraping practices.
What integration support is available?
Full docs, scholar python/Node.js SDKs, code samples, and Slack support for quick scholar api onboarding and custom setups.
