Question 2

Why do you need a Google search API to scrape Google?

Accepted Answer

Since 2011, Google Search does not provide a functional official SERP API able to show how you or your competitors rank on Google. So the only way to efficiently monitor search results and ranking is to use web scraping tools.
Our free Google API gives you your own, customizable SERP scraper, a RESTful SERP API that provides real-time results optimized for structured output that you can download.

Question 6

How to scrape Google search results by URL or keyword

Accepted Answer

There are two ways you can scrape Google search pages: either by URL or by search term.
1. Scraping by URL will get you data from Google search results page. You'll get Google data from a copypasted Google URL, any domain. You can add as many URLs as you want.
2. Scraping by search term will also get you data from Google search results page. You can also add as many search terms as you want.

Question 7

How to scrape Google search results by URL

Accepted Answer

It's super easy to get Google Search results by URL. Just copypaste the Google URL you're interested in, and indicate the number of Google pages you want to scrape.

Question 8

How to scrape Google by search term

Accepted Answer

It is also easy to get Google search data by search term. Just enter the search term, number of Google pages to scrape. With this option, you also can:

scrape by just one search term (one keyword)
scrape by multiple keywords in parallel by adding more search terms
indicate how many results you want to see per each Google page (10-100)
indicate the country of search (domain), language, and UULE location parameter

Question 9

How do I scrape millions of results from Google?

Accepted Answer

Please note that, although Google always shows that it has found millions of results, Google will never display more than a few hundred results for a single search query 🤥 If your goal is to get as many results as possible, try creating many similar queries and combine different parameters and locations.

Question 10

How do I scrape Google ads?

Accepted Answer

Despite the fact that scraping Google is the best shot we've got at seeing objective Google results, displayed paid results are still heavily dependent on your location and browsing history. It’s also up to Google to choose which ads to show to which user (hello, cookies 🍪). It might be underwhelming to see less results than you'd expected. Most probably, Google's precise algorithm is the reason for it.

Question 11

Is it legal to scrape Google search results?

Accepted Answer

Web scraping is legal if you are extracting publicly available data, but you should respect boundaries such as personal data and intellectual property regulations. Rule of thumb is: you should only scrape personal data if you have a legitimate reason to do so, factoring in Google's Terms of Use as well. If you're unsure whether your reason is legitimate, consult your lawyers. We also recommend that you read our blog post on the subject: is web scraping legal?

Question 12

Can I integrate Google Scraper with other apps?

Accepted Answer

Google Search Results Scraper can be connected with almost any cloud service or web app thanks to integrations on the Apify platform. You can integrate with Make, Zapier, Slack, Airbyte, GitHub, Google Sheets, Google Drive, and more. Or you can use webhooks to carry out an action whenever an event occurs, e.g. get a notification whenever Google Search Results Scraper successfully finishes a run.

Question 13

Can I use Google Scraper with the API?

Accepted Answer

The Apify API gives you programmatic access to the Apify platform. The API is organized around RESTful HTTP endpoints that enable you to manage, schedule, and run Apify Actors. The API also lets you access any datasets, monitor Actor performance, fetch results, create and update versions, and more.
