Google Search Scraper API
Google API: 10 endpoints covering SERP search, Ads Transparency Center advertisers and creatives, Business Profile info, reviews, posts, and Q&A, plus Google Travel hotel search and detail. SERP queries cost 1 credit, ad and review endpoints 5, with 100 free credits on signup. No Google Cloud project, proxy pool, or CAPTCHA solving required.
TL;DR

}How does SocialCrawl handle 42 different platforms?
Social media scraping is hard. Schema normalization, authentication, rate limits, pagination — we handle it all before your data arrives.
Write once, query them all.
42 platforms return 42 different JSON shapes. We normalize every response into one consistent structure.
Metrics ready before you ask.
Engagement rate, estimated reach, content category, language — calculated on every response automatically.
One cursor, every platform.
Every platform paginates differently. We give you one consistent cursor-based system.
Live data, never cached.
Every request hits the actual platform. No stale data, no cache lag.
Auth, proxies, and rate limits — handled.
Platform authentication, IP rotation, rate limit management — abstracted away. Just send a GET request.
How does SocialCrawl compare to DIY SERP scraping for Google Search data?
Same Google Search data, two very different paths. Auth, rate limits, schema, and cost — side by side.
| Feature | SocialCrawl | DIY SERP scraping |
|---|---|---|
| Authentication | One x-api-key header shared across 42 platforms | None — but you manage proxy credentials and session cookies yourself |
| Setup | One GET request; first call in minutes | Headless browsers, proxy rotation, and HTML parsers to build and host |
| Rate limits / CAPTCHAs | Flat credit pricing; CAPTCHA and block handling happens upstream | Google blocks aggressively — CAPTCHAs and IP bans are your problem |
| Response schema | Unified JSON envelope shared with all 42 platforms | Raw HTML that breaks every time Google changes its markup |
| Pricing | 1 credit per SERP query, 5 for ad and review endpoints; 100 free credits | Free to attempt, but proxies and CAPTCHA solvers cost real money at scale |
| Data coverage | SERP, ad transparency, business profiles, reviews, Q&A, and hotels in one API | Each surface needs its own scraper and parser |
| Maintenance | Schema stays stable when Google changes its layout | Constant parser fixes as Google updates its HTML |
