Scrape and parse search engine results using SerpApi. Get search results from Google, Bing, Baidu, Yandex, Yahoo, Home Depot, eBay and more.
🪧 Coming from google-search-results-nodejs? Check out the migration document to find out how to upgrade. |
|---|
- Supports Node.js 7.10.1 and newer.
- Refer to this example for help.
npm install serpapi
# or if you prefer yarn
yarn add serpapiconst { getJson } = require("serpapi");
getJson({
engine: "google",
api_key: API_KEY, // Get your API_KEY from https://serpapi.com/manage-api-key
q: "coffee",
location: "Austin, Texas",
}, (json) => {
console.log(json["organic_results"]);
});- If you prefer using the
importsyntax and top-levelawait, you need to use at least Node.js 14.8.0. - Refer to this example for help.
You will need to add "type": "module" to your package.json:
{
"type": "module",
// rest of package.json
}import { getJson } from "serpapi";
const response = await getJson({
engine: "google",
api_key: API_KEY, // Get your API_KEY from https://serpapi.com/manage-api-key
q: "coffee",
location: "Austin, Texas",
});
console.log(response);- Import directly from deno.land.
- Usage is otherwise the same as above.
- Refer to this example for help.
import { getJson } from "https://deno.land/x/serpapi/mod.ts";
const response = await getJson({
engine: "google",
api_key: API_KEY, // Get your API_KEY from https://serpapi.com/manage-api-key
q: "coffee",
location: "Austin, Texas",
});
console.log(response);- TypeScript support.
- Works out-of-the-box with Node.js and Deno.
- Promises and async/await support.
- Callbacks support.
- Examples in JavaScript/TypeScript on Node.js/Deno using ESM/CommonJS, and more.
You can declare a global api_key and timeout value by modifying the config
object. timeout is defined in milliseconds and defaults to 60 seconds.
All functions, other than getLocations, accepts an optional api_key and
timeout that will take precedence over the values defined in config.
getLocations doesn't require an API key.
import { config, getJson } from "serpapi";
config.api_key = API_KEY;
config.timeout = 60000;
await getJson({ engine: "google", q: "coffee" }); // uses the API key defined in the config
await getJson({ engine: "google", api_key: API_KEY_2, q: "coffee" }); // API_KEY_2 will be usedNote: SerpApi handles proxies on its end — you do not need to supply your own proxy to avoid blocks or CAPTCHAs. This option is only for users who need to route all outbound requests through a corporate or network proxy.
You can route requests through your own proxy by passing requestOptions with
an HttpsProxyAgent instance. This can be done either globally through the
config object or per-request in the parameters.
First, install the required package:
npm install https-proxy-agent
# or if you prefer yarn
yarn add https-proxy-agentThen use it in your code:
import { config, getJson } from "serpapi";
import { HttpsProxyAgent } from "https-proxy-agent";
// Global configuration
config.requestOptions = {
agent: new HttpsProxyAgent("http://proxy-server:port"),
};
// Or per-request configuration
await getJson({
engine: "google",
q: "coffee",
requestOptions: {
agent: new HttpsProxyAgent("http://proxy-server:port"),
},
});Built-in pagination is not supported. Please refer to our pagination examples for a manual approach:
Get a JSON response based on search parameters.

// single call (async/await)
const json = await getJson({ engine: "google", api_key: API_KEY, q: "coffee" });

getJson({ engine: "google", api_key: API_KEY, q: "coffee" }, console.log);Get a HTML response based on search parameters.
- Accepts an optional callback.
- Responds with a JSON string if the search request hasn't completed.

- This search ID can be obtained from the

asyncparameter. - Accepts an optional callback.
