Things you probably want to know.

Questions developers ask before integrating a SERP API into production. Cannot find your answer? Write to us at support@serpapi.io.

What is a SERP API and how does it work?+

A SERP API retrieves search engine results programmatically and returns them as structured data. When you send a query to SERP API.IO, our infrastructure executes the search using residential IPs, bypasses anti-bot defenses, parses the HTML response, and delivers clean JSON in under 2 seconds. You receive every SERP element: organic results, ads, featured snippets, Knowledge Graph, and more.

Do failed requests count against my quota?+

No. You pay only for successful responses. Blocked, timed-out, or errored requests do not consume your monthly quota or trigger a charge. This applies across all plans, including the free tier.

Can I use SERP API.IO inside AI agents and LLM apps?+

Yes. SERP API.IO offers Markdown output mode for direct LLM injection, AI Overview extraction, and an official MCP server for Claude Desktop, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible environments. The API integrates natively with LangChain, LlamaIndex, AutoGen, and CrewAI.

What is the difference between real-time and async mode?+

Real-time mode returns results in the same HTTP response, ideal for user-facing apps where the end user waits for data. Async mode queues the request and processes it within minutes, ideal for bulk keyword batches and overnight rank tracking. Async costs approximately 60% less per request.

How accurate is the geo-targeting?+

Very accurate. Our infrastructure routes requests through IP pools in the exact country, region, and city you specify. GPS coordinate-level targeting is available on Pro and Enterprise plans, producing results that match what a real user in that location sees. This is critical for local pack, map, and region-specific rankings.

Which programming languages do you support?+

SERP API.IO exposes a standard REST API, so any language that can make HTTP requests works immediately. We publish official SDKs for Python and Node.js/TypeScript. We also provide integration guides for n8n, Make.com, Zapier, and Google Sheets.
