What is the SERP Search API?

SERP Search provides a fast, reliable API for scraping Google search results. You send a search query and receive structured JSON data including organic results, featured snippets, knowledge graph data, and related searches.

How do I authenticate my API requests?

All requests require a valid API key passed as a Bearer token in the Authorization header. You can generate API keys from your dashboard after signing up. Example: Authorization: Bearer mk_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

What search engines are supported?

Currently, we support Google Search including organic results, images, videos, and news. We are actively working on adding support for additional search engines.

What are the rate limits?

Rate limits depend on your plan: Pro allows 5 requests/second, Ultra allows 15 requests/second, and Mega allows 50 requests/second. Enterprise plans have custom rate limits. Exceeding the rate limit returns a 429 status code with a Retry-After header.

What happens if I exceed my monthly quota?

When you exceed your monthly request quota, subsequent requests will return a QUOTA_EXCEEDED error (HTTP 429). Your quota resets at the start of each billing period. You can upgrade your plan at any time to increase your limit.

Do you offer a free trial?

We do not currently offer a free trial, but our Pro plan starts at just $9.99/month with 10,000 requests included. You can also save with annual billing, which gives you 2 months free.

Can I change my plan at any time?

Yes, you can upgrade or downgrade your plan at any time from your dashboard. Changes take effect immediately, and billing is prorated accordingly.

What response formats are available?

The API returns data in JSON format by default, which includes structured fields for organic results, featured snippets, knowledge graph data, and related searches. Raw HTML responses are also available.

Do you support geo-targeting?

Yes. You can specify the country (gl parameter) and language (hl parameter) for search results. This allows you to get localized results for any supported region.

What is your uptime guarantee?

All plans include a 99.9% uptime SLA. We operate redundant infrastructure to ensure high availability. Check our status page for real-time system health.

How do I get support?

Pro plan users get email support, Ultra users get priority support, and Mega and Enterprise users get dedicated support. You can also reach us anytime through the live chat widget on our website.

Is there an Enterprise plan?

Yes. Enterprise plans include custom request volumes, custom rate limits, dedicated support, and tailored SLAs. Contact us to discuss your requirements.
