SearchApi

Real-time SERP data extraction API

Overview

SearchApi provides a real-time SERP scraping API for developers, making it easy to extract public data from search engines by handling proxies, CAPTCHA solving, and browser emulation, and delivering structured JSON data. It supports data from Google (Search, Shopping, Jobs, Trends, Ads, Maps), YouTube, Amazon, Bing and more, with features like precise geo-targeting across 195 countries, premium proxies, a high success rate for ads scraping, and a 99.9% SLA. It also offers a ZeroTrace mode that logs no request data and provides a $2M legal coverage guarantee for data collection under US law. The service runs on a pay-per-success model with a free tier. The goal is to help developers avoid building and maintaining their own web crawlers and search indexing, serving clients in e-commerce, SEO, lead generation, and data mining with reliable, real-time access to structured SERP data.
