Google SERP API

SERPs scraping consists of automatically extracting the results displayed by Google for a given keyword. This makes it possible to collect all the information visible on the page (SEO positions, presence of an AI Overview, featured snippet, images, videos, local pack, People Also Ask, etc.) and make it usable in the form of structured or raw data.

A scraping service offers total flexibility: you can retrieve raw or JSON results, with no limits on the number of keywords, frequency or type of results. You can integrate the data directly into your own dashboards, internal tools or SEO/SEA projects.

By using an API, you don't have to deal with the technical complexity of scraping: maintenance in the event of DOM changes, changes to SERPs, or new anti-scraping rules introduced by Google.

Everything is taken care of automatically, ensuring that your data is always reliable and up to date.

Yes, Google operators such as site:, inurl:, intitle:, allintitle:, filetype:, and logical combinations (AND, OR, -) are fully supported.
Their use has no impact on pricing: each request is billed in the same way, regardless of the type of operator used.

When a keyword is added, it enters a queue specific to your account. Each account has its own queue, independent of the others. So even if a customer has a million keywords in process, it won't impact your turnaround time.

We have a large number of robots working in parallel: each one starts by processing the first keyword for each account, guaranteeing fair distribution and rapid turnaround times.

Our infrastructure is capable of processing tens of millions of scrapes per day, and we have the capacity to scale in a matter of minutes to absorb peaks in demand and exceed this capacity.

Below is a table showing the median scrape time for 200 requests (100 computer and 100 mobile). These times are indicative: they may vary according to the quality of the proxy used, the weight of the SERP and the immediate availability of the robots (a robot may already be busy at the time of the query).

You can scrape all the elements present in a Google SERP:
- Organic SEO results
- Presence of an AI Overview
- Local Pack / Google Maps
- Featured Snippets
- People Also Ask (PAA)
- Images, videos, Google Shopping
- Related searches
- And more

This gives you a complete overview of the competition and visibility on Google.

You can run on-demand extractions as often as you need: daily, several times a day, one-off or one-off. It all depends on your needs (regular SEO monitoring, one-off competitive analysis, bigdata, etc.).

Yes, the results come directly from Google, just as a user would see them in their browser. We use real browser instances, which guarantees the authenticity of the data.

What's more, you can geolocate your searches to simulate the SERP as it appears according to the user's precise location (country, city, even neighborhood). This ensures a faithful, contextualized view of the results, bearing in mind that SERPs can differ depending on the time of day and the Google datacenter used.

Absolutely. You can target a country, a department or a city (and its district). You can also choose the scrape medium (desktop or mobile), so you get results that are as close to reality as possible.

We use an optimized infrastructure with IP rotation, captcha management and advanced anti-detection techniques. The result: requests go through without a hitch, and you don't have to deal with technical complexity on the scraping side.

Results are available via :
- JSON (quick and easy to integrate)
- Full HTML SERP

Via the API, you can retrieve one or both formats at no extra cost.

Semscraper is part of the Monitorank family of SEO position tracking tools.

As of 2023, we have chosen to retrieve Google SERPs via native pagination, rather than using the old num=100 parameter which provided less reliable data (parameter deactivated by Google in September 2025).

In concrete terms, this means that you get results exactly as a web user would see them, page after page, without any technical bias.

In addition, Semscraper retrieves the pixel position of each result in the SERP. This data is invaluable for SEOs, as it enables them to assess the real visibility of a site: one result may be in 3ᵉ position organically, but located very low on the screen (if other types of positions are present), and therefore much less visible than another.

Billing works in a simple and flexible way: you credit your balance, then each request to retrieve a SERP is deducted from this balance. So you only pay for what you actually use.

Rates are degressive according to the amount credited, so you can benefit from lower prices if you top up your account with a larger sum.

We accept payment by credit card, and you can also set up an automatic top-up to ensure that your scrapes continue without interruption.
