SERP API
A service that runs a search on a search engine and returns the results page as structured data.
What it means
A SERP API sends a query to a search engine on your behalf and returns the response as JSON or another structured format. Your code receives fields such as position, title, link and snippet, rather than HTML it has to parse. Most vendors charge per request, and some charge more for extra results or features.
Choosing one comes down to coverage, price and reliability. Check which engines and countries are supported, what each request returns, and how often the vendor's parser breaks when the engine changes its layout. Compare a few vendors on the same query set before you commit to one. Ask how fast requests return and what happens when a request fails. Keep the vendor terms in mind when you plan volume, since limits and prices can change.
