Fun fact about Google Scholar: it’s "free", but it’s just another soulless Google product - no clear strategy, no support, and a fragile proprietary dependency in what should be an open ecosystem. This creates inherent risks for the academic community. We need the equivalent of arXiv for Google Scholar

OpenAlex is a really good here too, including their API. They’re also the inheritors of the Microsoft Academic Graph, fully open source and open data:
