}A Google SERP API (Search Engine Results Page API) is a service that lets you retrieve Google search results for any keyword, in any country, with a single API call. Instead of running a headless browser, managing proxy rotation, and parsing raw HTML yourself, a SERP scraping API handles all of that infrastructure and returns clean, structured JSON — ready to use directly in your application.
Despite high developer demand, Google does not offer an official SERP API. The Google Custom Search JSON API is limited to 100 queries per day on the free tier and only indexes sites you manually configure — not the full Google web index. For production-grade SERP position tracking, rank monitoring, SEO tooling, or AI data pipelines at scale, developers rely on third-party SERP APIs like ScrapeBadger.
ScrapeBadger's Google SERP API returns every element on the results page: organic results, ads, featured snippets, People Also Ask boxes, knowledge panels, local pack listings, AI Overviews, and related searches — all parsed into a consistent JSON schema you can rely on.
One API call. Structured JSON back. First request in under 5 minutes.

/v1/google/searchFrom SEO tooling to AI agents — the real-world applications that drive the most demand for SERP data.
Monitor keyword rankings over time for any domain. The position field on each organic result gives the live SERP rank. Build rank tracking dashboards that run on demand, without monthly subscription limits dictating your monitoring schedule.
Analyse which queries trigger featured snippets, People Also Ask boxes, knowledge panels, or local packs. Use SERP feature data to understand what content formats Google rewards for any topic — and surface those insights in your SEO platform or agency dashboard.
Ground LLM responses in real-time Google data. Feed structured SERP results directly into LangChain, LlamaIndex, or custom RAG pipelines. ScrapeBadger's credits never expire, making it ideal for AI workloads with bursty, unpredictable query volumes — no overprovision required.
Scrape Google search results for industry-specific queries to build targeted prospect lists. Extract domains, titles, and descriptions from companies appearing in organic results for any keyword. Combine with the Maps and Reviews APIs for complete business profiles.
Track how competitor pages move for target keywords. Get alerted when a competitor captures a featured snippet you previously held, or when new players enter the organic results for important terms. Monitor ad copy changes alongside organic shifts for a complete picture.
Use People Also Ask data and related searches to discover content topics competitors rank for that you don't. Extract the exact questions real users ask around a topic and build a data-driven content strategy — grounded in live SERP intelligence rather than assumptions.
ScrapeBadger's hosted MCP server exposes 92 tools — including all Google APIs — to any AI agent that supports the Model Context Protocol. No code changes. Just add one config line and your agent can call google_search natively.
Most Google data APIs charge monthly subscriptions whether you use them or not. ScrapeBadger's model is different.
Buy credits once and use them whenever you need — no monthly reset, no "use it or lose it" pressure. ScrapeBadger's pay-as-you-go credits last forever, so projects with variable or seasonal query volumes never waste budget on unused allocation.
ScrapeBadger offers two models: pay-as-you-go credits that never expire, or a subscription plan at a lower per-credit rate for predictable, high-volume usage. On a subscription, unused credits roll over to the following month — so you never lose what you paid for. No lock-in, cancel anytime.
ScrapeBadger covers the full Google product ecosystem from a single API key and credit balance: SERP, Maps, Reviews, News, Trends, Jobs, Shopping, Patents, Scholar, Images, Finance, Flights, Hotels, Lens, AI Mode, Autocomplete, Shorts, and more. One account, one integration, one billing relationship — versus managing multiple subscriptions across separate data providers.
Failed requests — timeouts, blocked responses, empty results — are never charged. Credits are deducted only when the API returns a successful, data-containing response. At scale, where failure rates affect your effective cost per result, this matters significantly. You pay for data you received, not for infrastructure you used.
Start with pay-as-you-go credits that never expire, or save more with a monthly subscription. No hidden fees, no lock-in.
Custom credit volumes, dedicated infrastructure, SLA guarantees, invoiced billing, and a dedicated account manager. Built around your actual usage — not a fixed tier.
