SerpApi
A real-time Google Search API that handles proxies and CAPTCHAs and returns structured results.
About SerpApi
SerpApi is a real-time API for scraping Google and other search engines. Each request runs in a full browser, uses proxies near the location you specify and solves CAPTCHAs, then returns the results as structured JSON or markdown. Organic results are available alongside Maps, Local, Stories, Shopping, Direct Answer and Knowledge Graph data, including links, addresses, prices, ratings and rich snippets.
It is aimed at developers, SEO teams and AI builders who need dependable search data without running their own proxy and parsing infrastructure. A location parameter returns results as users in specific places would see them. Only successful searches count toward your monthly total; cached, errored and failed searches do not, and the number of results per response does not change the count.
Pricing is month-to-month with a Free plan of 250 searches a month, and paid plans from $25 a month for 1,000 searches up to $275 for 30,000, with enterprise plans on request. Production plans and above include a U.S. Legal Shield with up to $2 million in coverage, and SerpApi says it is SOC 2 Type II, SOC 3 and ISO 27001 certified. ZeroTrace Mode stops it storing your search parameters and data.
