API v2 is Here

We've been working hard over the past few months to completely rebuild our search infrastructure. Today, we're proud to launch SerpBase API v2.

What's New

Improved Performance

Average response times are down to under 800ms for standard Google searches, with p99 under 2 seconds.

Cleaner Response Format

We've simplified the JSON response structure based on feedback from hundreds of developers:

{
  "organic": [...],
  "ads": [...],
  "knowledge_panel": {...},
  "related_searches": [...]
}

Price Reduction

We're passing our infrastructure savings on to you. Prices drop from $0.50/1k to $0.30/1k.

Migration Guide

v2 is backwards compatible for most fields. The main changes are:

  • results renamed to organic
  • position is now 1-indexed (was 0-indexed)

Existing integrations should work with minimal changes. See the API docs for full details.
