Google Search Search API
Scrape Google Search Search data with one API call. Returns Google search results for a query. Each result includes title, URL, and a text snippet. Google's own operators work in the query: `site:theqoo.net 다한증` returns only pages from that site (measured 09/10/2026: every row on the named domain), which makes this the cheapest way to find posts on one forum or community before reading them with /v1/web/scrape. Ten results a page; `page` walks further.
