SerpApi
Realtime SERP API feeding structured search data to AI apps and agents.
About
SerpApi is a developer API that returns structured, realtime search engine results as JSON, covering Google Search, Maps, YouTube, and other engines with proxy rotation, captcha solving, and localization handled automatically. It is widely used to ground AI agents and research workflows in live web data without maintaining scrapers.
In October 2026 the company launched an Extract API that moves beyond result retrieval to structured content extraction and bounded crawling within a single workflow, explicitly targeting developers building AI applications. Client libraries exist for common languages, with usage-based pricing and a free tier.
