7 Best Google Shopping APIs in 2026: Product Search Results Compared

The short answer: PrismCrawl is our pick for the best Google Shopping API in 2026. Its Google Shopping API returns live product results with titles, prices, merchants, ratings, and review counts for $0.30 to $0.15 per 1,000 successful searches, with no subscription, and a separate product endpoint returns merchant offers and specifications for one product. 100,000 searches cost $25. The best alternative depends on the job:

• Best overall value: PrismCrawl, live Shopping results from $0.15 per 1,000.
• Batch price monitoring that can wait: DataForSEO, $1.00 per 1,000 results pages in its standard queue.
• Monthly plans with general web scraping: Scrapingdog.
• Multi-engine monthly plans: SearchApi and SerpApi.
• Enterprise scraping contracts: Oxylabs and Bright Data.

This comparison is published by PrismCrawl, which is ranked first. Prices come from each provider's public pricing page, checked October 4 to 13, 2026. They are list prices, not quotes, and we have not benchmarked latency, success rate, or parsing quality across providers.

Is there an official Google Shopping API?

Not for search results. Google's Merchant API (formerly the Content API for Shopping) lets merchants upload and manage their own product listings. It does not return what shoppers see when they search Google Shopping: the competing products, prices, and sellers for a query. Price monitoring, competitor research, and product discovery tools use a third-party Google Shopping results API instead.

What a Google Shopping API returns

A Google Shopping search for a query returns a list of products. Typical fields are:

• Product title and ID, which you can use to look up the product's full offer list.
• Price, shown as Google displays it: a single price, a price range, or a starting price such as "$240+".
• Merchant or seller, when Google shows one.
• Rating and review count.
• Product URL and image.

A product endpoint then returns the sellers offering one product, their prices, and the product's specifications. If you track prices for known products, you will mostly call the product endpoint; if you track which products appear for a query, you will call the search endpoint.

Google Shopping APIs at a glance

Providers bill Shopping requests differently. Scrapingdog's Google Shopping API uses 10 credits per request, DataForSEO bills per results page of up to 40 products, and Oxylabs prices by target and rendering mode. Check the billing unit for the Shopping endpoint specifically before comparing.

What 100,000 Google Shopping searches cost

For each provider we use the smallest single published purchase or plan that covers 100,000 Shopping searches in a month.

If you also need product details, budget one more request per product per check. Tracking 1,000 products daily through the product endpoint is about 30,000 requests a month, or $10 with PrismCrawl.

The 7 best Google Shopping APIs, reviewed

1. PrismCrawl

Best for: price monitoring, product research, and ecommerce tools that need live results at a low cost.

PrismCrawl has three Google Shopping endpoints: Shopping search, a lighter Shopping light variant, and Shopping product for one product's merchant offers, images, and specifications. Requests take a query, country, language, and page number and return JSON with each product's title, ID, price, merchant, rating, and review count. The same balance covers Amazon, Walmart, eBay, Home Depot, and Bing Shopping, so one integration can compare prices across marketplaces.

• Pricing: one successful request uses one credit, from $5 ($0.30 per 1,000) to $1,000 ($0.15 per 1,000). Failed requests are free. New accounts get 100 free credits with no card.
• Throughput: 5 requests per second on the $5 package, rising to 100 on the $1,000 package; custom plans run at 1,000 or more.
• Tradeoffs: credits expire after 90 days, and prices are returned as Google displays them, so your code should parse ranges such as "$240+".

curl "https://api.prismcrawl.com/v1/google/shopping" \
  -X POST -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query":"wireless earbuds","country":"us","language":"en"}'

2. DataForSEO

Best for: large batch price-monitoring jobs that can wait.

DataForSEO's Merchant API returns Google Shopping products, sellers, and product specifications. It has no live mode for Shopping products: the standard queue returns results within 45 minutes at $1.00 per 1,000 results pages, and the priority queue within about a minute at $2.00. Each page holds up to 40 products, and deeper requests bill one page per 40 products.

• Tradeoffs: queued delivery does not suit applications waiting on an answer, and the task-based API takes more integration work. See DataForSEO alternatives.

3. Scrapingdog

Best for: teams that already use Scrapingdog's monthly plans for other scraping.

Scrapingdog has a dedicated Google Shopping API that uses 10 credits per request. Its $40 plan includes 200,000 credits (20,000 Shopping requests), the $90 plan 1 million (100,000 requests), and its $5,000 plan 120 million (12 million requests, about $0.42 per 1,000).

• Tradeoffs: monthly credits reset, and the Shopping endpoint costs ten times a basic request on the same plan.

4. Oxylabs

Best for: enterprise scraping contracts across many targets.

Oxylabs supports Google targets, including Shopping, through its Web Scraper API, with structured JSON output. Google results without JavaScript rendering start at $1.00 per 1,000, and monthly plans start at $30. New accounts get $5 in welcome credits.

• Tradeoffs: price depends on target and rendering mode, and larger plans are custom.

5. Bright Data

Best for: teams already buying Bright Data proxies or datasets.

Bright Data's SERP API covers Google Shopping along with web search and other engines. It costs $1.50 per 1,000 pay as you go, bills only successful requests, and publishes no concurrency limit. A free tier covers 5,000 requests a month.

• Tradeoffs: a higher per-request price than prepaid APIs, and setup uses zones and constructed search URLs.

6. SearchApi

Best for: a multi-engine API on monthly plans.

SearchApi has Google Shopping among its engines and bills successful searches against a monthly plan, from $40 for 10,000 searches to $5,000 for 5 million.

• Tradeoffs: monthly plans reset, and the rate at small volumes is $4.00 per 1,000.

7. SerpApi

Best for: teams already integrated with SerpApi.

SerpApi has Google Shopping and Google Product engines with detailed parsing. Searches count against monthly plans from $25 for 1,000 to $3,750 for 1 million.

• Tradeoffs: the most expensive option here at every volume. See the SerpApi pricing breakdown.

How to build a Google Shopping price tracker

1. Choose what you track. Track queries to see which products and sellers appear, or track known products to follow their offers and prices.
2. Fix the market. Store the country and language with every check; prices and sellers differ by market.
3. Parse prices carefully. Google shows single prices, ranges, and "from" prices. Keep the original string as well as the parsed number.
4. Store observations with time. Save each result with the query, product ID, merchant, price, and collection time in your own database.
5. Compare across marketplaces. Run the same product through Amazon, Walmart, and eBay endpoints to see where it is cheapest.
