Google Search Scraper

The Google Search scraper by cloro returns the live results page as structured JSON: organic results, ads, People Also Ask, People Are Saying, local pack, related searches, shopping cards and the AI Overview.

How do you scrape Google Search?

1. Get an API key at cloro.dev.
2. POST a query to https://api.cloro.dev/v1/monitor/google.
3. Read the parsed fields from the JSON response.

Google removed the &num=100 parameter on September 11, 2025, so every provider now paginates at 10 results a page and depth is the dominant term in what a SERP costs. Use pages to control it, and price your workload at the depth you actually query rather than the headline rate.

Request sample (Python)

import requests

payload = {
    'query': 'best serp api',
    'country': 'US',
    'pages': 1,
    'include': {'aioverview': True},
}

response = requests.post(
    'https://api.cloro.dev/v1/monitor/google',
    headers={'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY'},
    json=payload,
)

print(response.json())

Request sample (cURL)

curl -X POST https://api.cloro.dev/v1/monitor/google \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query": "best serp api", "country": "US", "include": {"aioverview": true}}'

Node.js and async/webhook examples are in the endpoint documentation.

What data does the Google Search scraper return?

{
  "success": true,
  "result": {
    "organicResults": [
      { "position": 1, "title": "Best SERP APIs", "url": "https://example.com/serp-apis", "domain": "example.com", "description": "Comparison of providers..." }
    ],
    "peopleAlsoAsk": [{ "question": "What is a SERP API?", "answer": "A SERP API returns search results as structured data..." }],
    "peopleAreSaying": [{ "source": "reddit.com", "snippet": "We switched after the num=100 change..." }],
    "localResults": [{ "title": "Example Agency", "rating": 4.6, "reviews": 128, "address": "123 Example St" }],
    "aioverview": { "text": "SERP APIs return search results as structured JSON...", "sources": [{ "position": 1, "url": "https://example.com" }] },
    "relatedSearches": ["serp api pricing", "google search api alternatives"]
  }
}

1. organicResults — position, title, URL, domain and description per result.
2. aioverview — the AI Overview block with its own cited sources, returned inline rather than behind a second request.
3. peopleAlsoAsk — PAA questions with their answers.
4. peopleAreSaying — the forum and social block Google now surfaces on many commercial queries.
5. localResults — the local pack with rating, reviews and address.
6. shoppingCards — product carousels with price and store.
7. ads — paid results, parsed and positioned.
8. relatedSearches — the related-query block.

Full field-level schemas are in the endpoint reference.

Use cases

• Rank tracking at city level using location or uule, where a national average and a metro result diverge.
• AI Overview monitoring — presence, text and cited sources, in the same response as the organic results.
• SERP feature research — how often PAA, local pack or People Are Saying fire on a query class.
• Competitive analysis — who holds the page for the queries your buyers run.

FAQ

What happened to &num=100?

Google removed it on September 11, 2025. Every provider now paginates at 10 results per page, which raised the cost of top-100 depth across the category. Use pages and price at your real depth.

Does the AI Overview cost extra?

It is returned in the same response when you set include.aioverview, rather than requiring a second request. See the pricing page for how credits are counted at depth.

Can I get city-level results?

Yes. location takes a Google canonical location name and uule takes a pre-encoded string. They are mutually exclusive.

Is scraping Google results legal?

cloro returns publicly visible results pages. No court has ruled that scraping public results is unlawful, though the area is active. Check your own jurisdiction and use case.
