Google Search API

One Google results page for any query, country, language, city-level location and device: organic results with sitelinks, dates and snippets, plus People also ask, related searches, top stories, the local pack, the knowledge graph and the AI Overview when Google shows one. Each page is 10 results; page N returns results N*10-9 to N*10 and is billed as N pages, because the first N*10 results are fetched. Set light=true for organic results only. Every response carries a confidence score. Google requires JavaScript from automated visitors, so results come from a licensed results feed rather than our own scrapers; failed requests are never charged.

This engine is built and switches on as soon as our licensed results feed is connected. Join early access through the contact form and we'll email you on launch day.
