I’m in an REU program and we’re trying to create a program in Python that will scrape the text of all relevant patents of a particular query. I’ve been doing this by first using the Google Patents API (through https://serpapi.com/google-patents-api) to get the patent IDs of all the relevant patents. Then for each patent ID, I use the Google Patents Details API to get the full text and write it to a .txt file. The problem is this uses up a search credit for every patent it finds.

Does anyone know of a way to just get the full text of all the patent IDs found without using a search credit for each one? This is my first time using APIs so I’m not sure if I’m missing something. Thanks!

I tried looking into how I can do it in a different way. But I wasn’t able to find anything.
