Live, uncached results
Each successful request executes against the selected search engine. PrismCrawl does not serve a cached keyword database.
SERP API
SERP APIs for enterprise and production workloads.
100+ live SERP and data APIs for enterprise teams: search, AI answers, shopping, maps, travel, and reviews. Automatic CAPTCHA and JavaScript challenge handling.
What is a SERP API?
A SERP API retrieves a search engine results page and returns data your application can use. A SERP scraping API lets you work with rankings, URLs, snippets, and supported features without maintaining your own HTML collection and parsing workflow.
- No browser or proxy fleet to operate
- Ranked organic results and rich SERP features
- Stable JSON instead of changing search HTML
- Consistent controls across recurring searches
Search engines, marketplaces, and specialized data
Use one account and credit balance across Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Amazon, YouTube, and more. Collect search results and AI answers, compare products, retrieve reviews, or build travel and market research workflows. Browse the complete API catalog for each endpoint and its controls.
Normalized JSON
Read ranks, titles, URLs, snippets, domains, sources, feature types, positions, and pagination from documented shapes.
Automatic challenge handling
CAPTCHA solving and JavaScript challenges are handled within supported API requests. Customers receive the documented API response without seeing or interacting with challenges.
Serving enterprise teams and production pipelines
PrismCrawl serves enterprise customers running sustained, high-volume workloads. Use self-serve plans up to 100 requests per second, or arrange a custom plan at 1,000 or more requests per second for your collection schedule.
Share your data sources, expected monthly volume, and peak rate with our team. Review volume pricing or follow the production migration guide when moving an existing integration.
Localized SERP results, devices, and pagination
Targeting is engine-specific. Google supports named locations or coordinates and result-language controls. Bing accepts coordinates and country controls; its interface-language hint does not restrict result language. Follow each endpoint’s documented pagination.
- Country and Google domain controls
- Interface and result language
- Named place, coordinates, and radius
- Desktop, tablet, and mobile identity
- Search tab and native filters
- Native pagination and continuation metadata
Rank tracking, SERP monitoring, and search applications
Rank tracking and SERP checks
Build a rank tracking API integration that matches domains to returned positions. Your scheduler and database turn individual SERP checks into historical reports.
SEO and competitor research
Compare result types, competing pages, and supported SERP features across a consistent keyword set. Keep location, language, and device fixed when measuring changes.
AI agents and live search
Supply current discovery results to research tools and search-powered applications. Follow the AI agent integration guide for budgets and source handling.
Organic rankings and SERP features
Read organic results separately from typed SERP features such as featured snippets, related questions (People Also Ask), news, images, shopping, local results, and knowledge panels when present. Coverage and availability depend on the engine and query. Inspect the documented response schema and test representative searches before relying on a specific feature.
Inspect and debug every request
Standard request metadata is retained for 90 days and JSON/source HTML for 30 days. With zero_trace enabled, artifacts are not retained and history is limited to audit and billing fields. Review parameters, status, timing, and credits in the dashboard, copy cURL, rerun a search, or download artifacts. See the request history API documentation.
