I have a list of authors. I wish to automatically retrieve/calculate the (ideally yearly) citation index (h-index, m-quotient,g-index, HCP indicator or ...) for each author.
Author Year Index
first 2000 1
first 2001 2
first 2002 3
I can calculate all of these metrics given the citation counts for each paper of each researcher.
Author Paper Year Citation_count
first 1 2000 1
first 2 2000 2
first 3 2002 3
Despite my efforts, I have not found an API/scraping method capable of this.
My institution has access to a number of services including Web of Science.

Using your Google Scholar Citations account, you can see the citation counts for your publications and have GS calculate your h-index. (You can also search Google Scholar by author name and the title of an article to retrieve citation information for a specific article.)
The h-index is a measure of the number of publications published (productivity), as well as how often they are cited. h-index = the number of publications with a citation number greater than or equal to h. For example, 15 publications cited 15 times or more, is a h-index of 15.
The H-index is displayed in the "Cited by" box on the right hand of your profile page. Also displayed are the total number of citations that all of the articles in your profile have received, and the "i10-index", which shows how many of your articles have received at least 10 citations.
Google Scholar Author Citations Google Scholar Citations is a way to keep track of an author's citations through their Google Profile page. ►Type the author's full name into the search box. If the author has a public author profile it will display above the article result list.
Effectively the main problem is to build the citation graph. Once you have that you can compute any metrics you want (e.g. h-index, g-index, PageRank).
Supposing you have a collections of papers (that you've retrieved in some way) you can extract the citations from each of them and build the citation graph. You might find useful ParsCit, an open-source CRF Reference String and Logical Document Structure Parsing Package which is also used by CiteSeerX and works great.
