Google Search API
SerpApi-compatible.
5x cheaper.
Real-time Google results as JSON, in the same response format as SerpApi's Google engine. Same block names, same field names. Change the host, keep your parsing code, and pay $15 for 5,000 searches instead of $75.

Parsed against SerpApi's own output, block by block. A block Google did not show is left out, never returned empty, exactly as SerpApi does it.

- Same parameters
q,location,gl,hl,start,engine=googleandengine=google_maps,/search.json. SerpApi URLs work as-is. - Real destination linksEvery
linkis resolved to the real URL, not a Google redirect. - AI OverviewsText blocks and references, when Google shows one.
- Live, not cachedFetched from Google at request time over residential connections in the country you ask for.
What's different from SerpApi
- Google web search (
engine=google) and Google Maps search (engine=google_maps). Web search runs on google.com: set the country withgl.locationis best effort, and the response says where the search actually ran. - Not parsed yet: chart data (hourly weather, price history).
- Most searches answer in 1-5 seconds; a cold one can take up to about 70.
