Action

Composio Scholar Search

Scholar api allows you to scrape results from a google scholar search query. the scholarsearch class performs an academic search using the composio scholar search api, academic papers and scholarly articles. it uses the google scholar search engine through the serp api to fetch relevant academic information based on the input query.

Why this helps

Finding credible academic sources can feel like a separate research project, so evidence requests may sit unanswered.

  • Start scholarly research from a clearly stated question.
  • Keep paper results beside the claim under discussion.
  • Reduce the friction of finding an initial set of sources.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Composio search to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to set it up conversationally.
  • 3Write one instruction asking Notis to search Google Scholar when a channel message requests academic papers on a named topic, then share relevant results in the thread.
  • 4Pick Slack Channel Message Received and choose a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test with a real topic where academic sources would help.
