Retrieving more than 10 entries

Hi!

We are developpers of a software for research called Sage-Combinat, and looking for a tool that will extract out of google scholar a preliminary list of papers that mention Sage-Combinat, in bibtex format. gscholar sounds great for this!

The only feature we are missing is that we would like to get all citations, and that should be roughly 60 of them. Do you see a way to allow for this?

Thanks a lot!

The first idea that pops into my head is to change the cookie you send to google in a way that emulates the appropriate setting for seeing more results per page.

Thanks for your suggestion! I just tried that, changing line 64 to:

header['Cookie'] = header['Cookie'] + ":CF=%d" % outformat + ";\n PREF=ID=%s:NR=30"%google_id

For NR=3, this works just fine. However there seems to be a cap at 20, so this won't be enough. Hmm, then I guess one would need to follow the "next" link until the end is reached ...
Is this a feature that would be useful to anyone else?

line 64??

That was a long time ago, so I guess the code moved around a bit. The line to adapt is presumably this one now:

Thank you; I'll look into it. And thank you for working in Sage-Combinat; I hope someday I can contribute!
