Query Google Search programmatically and get organic results, autocomplete suggestions, and lightweight snippets — all through a simple REST API. No Google Cloud account needed, no complex setup, just an API key and structured JSON responses.
Structured data for real applications. Here are some ideas.
Monitor keyword rankings across geographies, languages, and devices. Track position changes, featured snippets, and SERP features over time for your domains and competitors — no daily quota caps.
Discover who ranks for your target keywords, analyze competitor content strategies, and identify content gaps in your niche with real organic SERP data from Google.
Analyze top-ranking pages for any query to understand what Google rewards. Extract titles, meta descriptions, and URLs from live SERPs to inform your content strategy and on-page SEO.
Search for businesses, professionals, and organizations by keyword and location. Build targeted prospect lists from organic search results at scale with geographic targeting.
Track how your brand appears in Google search results. Monitor mentions, review listings, and news coverage across keywords and regions to protect your online reputation.
Collect search result datasets for academic research, market studies, and data science projects. Use structured JSON output for analysis without manual SERP scraping or browser automation.

Most SERP API providers charge $5-$50 per 1,000 searches and lock you into monthly subscriptions. Scrappa offers flat $0.20/1k pricing with pay-as-you-go billing, no subscription required. You also get a lightweight search endpoint optimized for high-volume use cases like rank tracking, plus autocomplete — all included at the same price.
Yes. You can query any keyword with geographic and language targeting, then parse the position of your domain in the results. Many customers run thousands of rank checks daily for SEO monitoring dashboards. The lightweight search endpoint is optimized for high-volume rank tracking with faster response times.
Just a Scrappa API key. Sign up, grab your key from the dashboard, and include it as an X-API-KEY header. No Google Cloud account, no OAuth, no complex setup — you can start querying in under a minute.
Each result includes the page title, URL, meta description snippet, displayed URL, and position. The full search endpoint also returns search metadata like total result count. You get the same organic results you would see on google.com, returned as structured JSON.
The full Search endpoint returns comprehensive SERP data and is best for detailed analysis. Search Light is a faster, more cost-effective endpoint that returns core result data — ideal for high-volume rank tracking, monitoring, and applications where speed matters more than full SERP detail.
Yes. Every Scrappa account includes 500 free credits per month with no credit card required. This is enough to test all three search endpoints — full search, light search, and autocomplete — and validate your integration before scaling up.
Scrappa charges a flat $0.20 per 1,000 requests with no daily or monthly caps. There are no per-result charges or tiered pricing. You can burst as many requests as your plan allows, and the free tier gives you 500 credits per month to get started.
Yes. Both the full Search and Search Light endpoints support geographic targeting via country codes (gl parameter) and language codes (hl parameter). You can get localized results for any Google market — perfect for international SEO monitoring and regional market research.
