Scraping by search term

{
  "queries": ["latest crm tool", "best project management software"],
  "countryCode": "us",
  "languageCode": "en",
  "maxPagesPerQuery": 2,
  "resultsPerPage": 10,
  "mobileResults": false
}

Scraping by URL

Replace search terms with full Google URLs:

{
  "queries": [
    "https://www.google.com/search?q=hotels+in+Seattle",
    "https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=best+crm+software"
  ]
}

Tip: To get ~100 results per query, set maxPagesPerQuery to 10. The actor navigates 10 pages collecting ~10 results each.

Notes & Limitations

• Results vary by IP location, browsing history, and browser fingerprint. The actor uses rotating proxies to mitigate this.
• Google's SERP structure changes frequently. If a data block stops appearing, open an issue — updates are released promptly.
• resultsTotal is returned as null — Google no longer reliably exposes the total result count in HTML.
• AI Mode and AI Overview availability depends on query type and Google's rollout. Not all queries trigger these blocks.
• For very high-volume scraping (100k+ results/day), contact us to discuss a custom plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a Google API key? No. This actor scrapes the public Google Search HTML — no API key or Google account required.

How do I scrape Google in a specific country? Set countryCode to the two-letter country code (e.g. gb for UK, de for Germany). The actor routes requests through proxies in that country and uses the matching Google domain.

Can I scrape Google Images or Google News? This actor is focused on the main web search SERP. For Images or News results, use a dedicated actor or pass a raw URL with the tbm=isch or tbm=nws parameter — basic fields will still be extracted.

How do I get 100 results per keyword? Set maxPagesPerQuery to 10 and resultsPerPage to 10. The actor will crawl pages 1–10, collecting ~10 results each.

Is the output compatible with Google's own Search API? The field structure mirrors common SERP API conventions. Fields like position, title, url, description, and displayedUrl map directly to their equivalents in most SEO tools.
