What is Dify?
Open-source LLM application development platform. Build AI workflows with a visual canvas, no code required.
Searching Google Scholar with Dify
This integration lets your Dify agent search Google Scholar in real time via the Scavio API. The agent gets back structured JSON with paper titles, paper URLs, SERP snippets -- ready for reasoning and decision-making.
Setup
Bash
# No installation - configure in Dify's visual editorCode Example
Here is a complete Dify agent that searches Google Scholar using Scavio:
Text
# In Dify, add an HTTP Request node with:
# Method: POST
# URL: https://api.scavio.dev/api/v2/google
# Headers:
# Authorization: Bearer {{scavio_api_key}}
# Content-Type: application/json
# Body (raw JSON):
# {"query":"your search query"}
#
# Scavio has no Google Scholar endpoint, so citation counts and author lists are not available. This runs a Google web search - narrow it with site:arxiv.org or filetype:pdf.
Full Working Example
A production-ready example with error handling:
Text
# Dify workflow for Google Scholar data via Scavio
#
# 1. Create a new Workflow in Dify.
# 2. Add an HTTP Request node:
# - Method: POST
# - URL: https://api.scavio.dev/api/v2/google
# - Headers:
# Authorization: Bearer {{scavio_api_key}}
# Content-Type: application/json
# - Body (raw JSON): {"query":"your search query"}
# 3. Rows arrive under organic_results; parse them in a Code node.
# 4. Feed the parsed rows into an LLM node.

Pricing
Scavio offers a free tier with 50 credits on signup (1 credit per search). No credit card required. This is enough to build and test your Dify integration. Paid plans start at $30/month for higher volumes.
