Well, you might take a look at scholar.py, located here:  http://www.icir.org/christian/scholar.html

Also, there is this at stackoverflow:  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13200709/extract-google-scholar-results-using-python-or-r

One of these may provide what you want, or serve as a jumping off point.
