SerpApi
SerpApi provides an API that retrieves structured search results from Google and other search engines. Results include organic listings, Maps, Local, Stories, Shopping, Direct Answer, and Knowledge Graph data, returned in JSON. A location parameter can retrieve Google results from locations around the world. SerpApi says requests run immediately in a full browser and use CAPTCHA-solving technology. Integrations are listed for Ruby, Python, JavaScript, Golang, PHP, Java, Rust,.NET, MCP, Swift, C++, and CLI. Only successful searches count toward the monthly allowance; cached, errored, and failed searches do not. The Free plan includes 250 searches per month, and paid plans start at $25/mo for 1,000 searches. Search data expires automatically after 31 days; ZeroTrace Mode prevents search parameters, files, and data from being stored after a search completes. SerpApi lists SOC 2 Type II, SOC 3, and ISO 27001 as acquired, with GDPR marked in progress. U.S. Legal Shield is included with Production and higher plans, with up to $2 million in coverage.
