Frequently asked questions

What is Google Search scraper API?

A Google Search API lets you extract Google search results data without manually running searches. Instead of opening a browser, you send a request to the API with your target keyword and parameters, and get back structured data.

Teams use it for keyword rank tracking, competitor research, and building data pipelines that need fresh search data at scale.

Is scraping Google Search legal?

Google's Terms of Service restrict automated access to its search results, and Google actively works to detect and block scraping activity. That said, collecting publicly available data is generally treated differently from accessing private or protected data, and how courts interpret automated data collection continues to evolve.

We'd always recommend consulting your legal team before launching any large-scale data collection project to make sure your use case lines up with applicable laws and platform policies in your region.

We get asked a lot about the legalities of web scraping, so we put together a blog post to help clear things up.

How does Google Search scraper API work?

A Google Search scraper sends automated HTTP requests to Google and retrieves the HTML of the search results page. And then, using Decodo’s AI Parser, you can parse it into structured data. With Decodo’s Google Search scraper API, you can extract search results, rankings, snippets, and an AI overview.

The tricky part is that Google is very good at detecting and blocking automated requests. That's why Decodo’s Google Search scraper API combines proxy rotation (using real residential, mobile, ISP, or datacenter IPs), browser fingerprint management, and more. This makes your requests look like they're coming from real users.

How to use Google Search scraper API?

Getting started with Decodo's Google Search scraper API is straightforward:

Log in to Decodo’s dashboard.
Go to the Web Scraping API tab, choose the Google target.
Enter your query and adjust the Web Scraping API settings according to your needs.
The Web Scraping API will then retrieve the results in your preferred format.

If you need your data to be structured, check out our AI Parser – it’s a free tool that you can use whenever you need it.

Full walkthrough, code examples, and quick start guides are available in our documentation. If you run into anything, our support team is available 24/7 via LiveChat.

Do you support Google Al Overviews?

Yes. Decodo's Google Search scraper API returns Google AI Overviews data, where present in the SERP.

How can I use SERP data?

SERP data has a broad range of applications across SEO, market research, and competitive intelligence:

SEO tracking to monitor keyword rankings, track position changes, and see which SERP features (snippets, AI Overviews) you're appearing in.
Competitor analysis to see what your competitors are ranking for and how they're positioning their content.
Content research to identify content gaps and topics with strong organic demand.
Market research to get a read on trending topics, seasonal demand, and consumer intent at scale.
AI/LLM training data to collect real search result data to train and evaluate NLP and ranking models.

Can I retrieve all results across multiple pages?

Yes. You can paginate through Google search results by specifying the starting result index (or page number) in your request parameters. This lets you collect results from page 1, 2, 3, and beyond – useful when you need deeper SERP coverage beyond the top 10 results.

Keep in mind that results beyond the first page tend to have significantly lower traffic share, but for thorough keyword research or SERP landscape analysis, full pagination is there when you need it.

How to choose the best Google Search scraper API?

Start with reliability. If the API can't consistently collect the data you need, your data pipeline stalls. Check the provider’s reputation, speed, success rates, and if the API has proxies built in.

From there, think about what your project needs: real-time vs. cached data, geo-targeting scale, output format (HTML vs. parsed JSON or CSV, or Markdown for LLMs), and pagination support. Good documentation and responsive support are worth consideration too – they save your team real time when things need fixing fast.

Decodo's Google Search scraper API covers all of this:

Real-time data collection
Continent, country, state, city, ZIP code, and ASN-level targeting
Data in HTML, JSON, CSV, XHR, PNG, and Markdown formats
