# getAuthorProfile

**Identifier:** `googlescholar_getAuthorProfile`

**Provider:** [Google Scholar](https://kirha.com/providers/googlescholar.md)

Get a scholar's profile with publications, citation metrics (h-index, i10-index), yearly citation graph, and research interests. Use authorId from searchPapers authors. Returns citationIds for getAuthorArticle and authorIds for co-author lookup.

## Run it with the CLI

```bash
kirha tools run googlescholar_getAuthorProfile \
  --input '{
    "authorId": "<authorId>"
  }'
```

`--input` takes a JSON object that matches the input schema. Pass `--input -` to read it from stdin.

## Call it over HTTP

```bash
curl https://api.kirha.com/tools/v1/execute \
  --request POST \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --header 'Authorization: **********' \
  --data '{
  "tool_name": "googlescholar_getAuthorProfile",
  "input": {
    "authorId": "<authorId>"
  }
}'
```
