serpstack API

Development / API Key Intermediate HTTPS CORS
Varies by plan (check documentation)

Overview

serpstack delivers real-time Google Search results through a simple REST API, returning organic results, ads, featured snippets, and more. It is widely used for SEO monitoring, competitive analysis, and building search-powered applications. A free tier is available for low-volume testing.

Beginner Tip

Start with the free plan to test your queries, and always use the access_key parameter in your request. Note that HTTPS is only available on paid plans.

Common Errors & Troubleshooting

101 - Invalid Access Key The access_key parameter is missing or incorrect
Copy your API key exactly from your serpstack dashboard and pass it as access_key in the query string
105 - HTTPS Not Supported Using HTTPS on a free-plan account
Use HTTP for free-tier requests, or upgrade to a paid plan to enable HTTPS
301 - No Results Found The search query returned no results for the given locale
Try a broader query or adjust the gl/hl locale parameters to match your target region

Metadata Score Breakdown

Estimated from metadata — endpoint not independently tested

This score is estimated from observable metadata — HTTPS support, authentication model, declared CORS, and documentation reachability — because the API requires authentication or exposes no publicly testable endpoint. The five-signal breakdown is only shown for live-tested APIs.
