The whole search page, not just ten blue links
AI Overviews, Knowledge Graph, sitelinks and People Also Ask — in one call, in SerpApi-compatible JSON. One key for Google, Bing, Maps, News, Shopping, Scholar and 40+ engines, from $0.0025 per search.
What you get
AI Overviews
Google's generated answer as structured text blocks with the source references behind it — the blocks, headings, lists and links, not a scrape of the box.
Knowledge Graph
The entity panel: type, description, images and structured attributes. A company carries founders and headquarters; a book series carries its titles.
40+ engines, one key
Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Yandex, Baidu, YouTube, News, Images, Maps, Shopping, Scholar, Jobs, Trends, Amazon, eBay, Walmart. Change one parameter.
Drop-in for SerpApi
Responses use the SerpApi schema field for field — search_metadata, organic_results, knowledge_graph, answer_box. Point your base URL here and your parsing code keeps working.
City-level targeting
gl, hl, google_domain and a location parameter precise enough for local rank tracking. Every Google advanced operator works inside q.
Pagination that works
Every response carries api_pagination with a ready-made link to the next page. No tokens to decode.
Two headers and you are running

SERP API FAQ
Is it really compatible with SerpApi?
Field for field on the core objects — search_metadata, search_parameters, organic_results, knowledge_graph, answer_box, related_questions. If you are already parsing SerpApi responses, change your base URL and your existing code keeps working.
Which engines are supported?
Google and its verticals (News, Images, Videos, Maps, Local, Shopping, Scholar, Jobs, Trends, Autocomplete, Lens, Patents, Play, Finance), Bing, DuckDuckGo, Yahoo, Baidu, Yandex, Naver, Amazon, eBay, Walmart, Home Depot, the Apple App Store, YouTube and Yelp. Parameters are forwarded rather than enumerated, so a newly supported engine works the day it appears.
How fresh are the results?
Identical queries are served from a short-lived cache whose window depends on the engine: 10–15 minutes for News and Trends, an hour for general web search, six hours for Maps, a day for Scholar. Send no_cache=1 to force a freshly fetched result at no extra cost.
How fast is a search?
Typically 5–7 seconds for a fresh Google query. That is normal for this category — a real search is being executed — but it is slower than an API that only returns ten links. If you need sub-second responses on every call, this is not the right tool.
Does one request return the whole first page?
Yes. A Google query returns 9–10 organic results plus every panel the page showed. News and Images return up to 100 items, Shopping 40, Maps 20 — all on a single request.
