How do I scrape Google search results with an API?
Send a GET request to /v1/google/search with your keyword in the query parameter. SocialCrawl returns organic SERP results (each with title, URL, snippet, and position) in a JSON array that matches the unified schema used across every SocialCrawl platform.
What filters does the Google Search API support?
Three optional filters: region (two-letter country code like US, UK, CA) to localise results, date_posted (last-hour, last-day, last-week, last-month, last-year) to scope freshness, and page (integer) to walk past the first SERP page. Combine them for niche queries.
Is this a SerpApi or Bright Data SERP alternative?
Yes. You get Google SERP results in the same schema as SocialCrawl's TikTok, Reddit, and YouTube endpoints, one integration for every platform. No per-query CAPTCHA retries, no proxy rotation on your side, flat credit pricing instead of per-API-call SERP plans.
How fresh are Google search results?
On a cache miss, SocialCrawl fetches current Google results. Identical repeats may use the 2-minute search cache and cost 0 credits, so the cache hit is free. Send Cache-Control: no-cache for a billed refresh. Combine date_posted=last-day with a news-style query for recent-content monitoring, or leave it unset for the full evergreen result set.
How much does the Google Search API cost?
Each query costs 1 credit on the standard tier, regardless of how many results come back on the page. New accounts get 100 free credits with no credit card required, enough to test 100 queries or build a small SERP monitoring cron before you pay a cent.
