FAQs about SERP Data Scraping

No, you don’t need to enable JavaScript rendering to scrape Google Search with ScraperAPI.

Although Google has required JS rendering to access search results since January 17th, you won’t need to take any further action when using our API.

When sending your requests through ScraperAPI, all the challenges – including JS rendering and other even trickier blockers. You’ll get all the data you need without any interrumptions.

Check our Google Search scraper.

Search engine result page (SERP) data is the information a search engine returns after the user submits a query.

When using ScraperAPI to scrape Google SERPs, it’ll turn every element in the search result page into structured JSON data, allowing you to collect, store, and manipulate the elements within a search result like “people also ask” and “related searches” box, ranking data, and etc.

SERP data scraping involves extracting publicly available information from search engine results pages (SERPs). This data supports your SEO effort in the following areas: 

  • Keyword research and monitoring: track keyword rankings, identify new opportunities, and stay ahead of the competition.
  • Product description analysis: see how competitors describe their products, helping you refine your own descriptions.
  • Content collection: gather relevant content for your niche to improve your content strategy.

Brand sentiment analysis: see how you’re portrayed online and what people say about your products.

The simplest way to scrape SERP data is using DataPipeline:

  • Open your ScraperAPI dashboard and create a new project
  • Click on the “Google Search” template
  • Paste all your target keywords on DataPipeline
  • Specify any requirements like geotargeting or scheduling
  • Run your project. You’ll be able to download your data in a couple of minutes

You can collect data from 10,000 URLs per project, and you can create as many projects as you need. For a more advanced tutorial, check our guide on scraping keyword rankings with Python.

ScraperAPI is one of the best data scraping tools for SERP data collection. Here’s why:

  • Structured JSON from Google: scrape web data directly from Google Search endpoints, including Google Shopping, News, and Jobs, and receive it in a clean JSON format.
  • Automated scraping: track your targeted keywords, set a scraping schedule, and let ScraperAPI’s DataPipeline handle the continuous data flow from your web scraping activities. 
  • Localized SERP data: see SERPs exactly as local users do. Our global proxy network (in 50+ countries) ensures you access localized data, regardless of your location.

Effortless scraping: forget about blocked IPs, CAPTCHAs, and complex parsing. ScraperAPI handles it all, allowing you to focus on the insights you gain.

SERP data collection is dedicated to SEO professionals and businesses (e.g., keyword tracking software) to enhance their SEO database performance. For instance, ScraperAPI’s SERP API is used by some popular SEO software like Keyword.com and Seobility.

Yes, it is legal to scrape Google search results because they are publicly available. Of course, that doesn’t mean Google wants you to scrape them, so you’ll have to use a tool like ScraperAPI to bypass its anti-scraping mechanisms and keep your IP safe.

Try ScraperAPI for free with 5,000 API credits.

Yes, ScraperAPI offers a 7-day free trial with 5,000 API credits. This allows you to test ScraperAPI’s all-in-one web scraping solution, which includes advanced proxy management, Google endpoint APIs (Google Search, shopping, news, etc.), and a built-in scheduler.
