Out of free searches?

Your free key includes 250 searches a month, and they come back on the 1st (UTC). To keep searching now, move to the Pro plan: $15/month for 5,000 searches, then $0.003 a search. Paid plans are billed through RapidAPI, and it takes about three minutes.

The host, and the key header. The parameters and the JSON you get back stay exactly the same.

Questions

Why RapidAPI? It handles payment, invoices and plan changes for us, so we can keep the price at a fifth of SerpApi's. You can cancel any time from your RapidAPI account.

What happens to my free key? Nothing: it gets its 250 searches back on the 1st, so you can keep it for testing.
