Google SERP Scraper

Get structured Google search results for any keyword, in any country, language and device — organic listings, ads, People Also Ask, AI Overview, featured snippets, the local pack and more. Give it a list of search terms and it returns clean, ready-to-analyze data, one row per results page.

Built on the DataForSEO SERP API. You don't need a DataForSEO account or an API key — just run the Actor.

What you get

• Full organic results — title, URL, position, absolute rank, description, displayed URL, domain, sitelinks and publish date.
• Every SERP feature Google showed — the serpFeatures field always lists all element types on the page (e.g. knowledge_graph, top_stories, video), even the ones that aren't broken out into their own field. This is where this Actor goes deeper than most.
• Ads (paidResults), People Also Ask (flattened question/answer pairs), related searches, featured snippet, local pack.
• AI Overview — Google's generative answer with its source references. Included for free whenever Google shows one; the optional add-on additionally fetches AI Overviews that Google loads asynchronously.
• A link to the live Google results (url) for every page, so you can verify any row by eye.

How it works

Results are fetched through DataForSEO's task-queue, so a run is not instant: most results arrive within about 5 minutes, and they are written to your dataset gradually, as each query finishes — you'll see rows appear during the run rather than all at once. The order of rows is not guaranteed; use the searchQuery fields inside each row to tie a result back to its query.

Input

Field	Type	Default	Description
Search queries	text, one per line — required	—	The terms to search. Blank lines are ignored, duplicates removed. Up to 700 characters each. Google operators (site:, intitle:, …) are allowed.
Results per query	integer	10	How many organic results to fetch (10–100, in steps of 10). Affects cost: you're billed per page of 10, so 30 costs 3× 10.
Location	select	United States	Country to search from. Regions and cities (e.g. London,England,United Kingdom) are supported via the API.
Language	select	English	Interface language of the search.
Device	select	desktop	desktop or mobile.
People Also Ask — expansion depth	integer	0	How deep to open the PAA box (0–4). Affects cost: each expansion click that returns an answer is billed.
Include AI Overview	checkbox	false	AI Overviews are always included for free when Google shows them. This paid add-on additionally fetches ones Google loads asynchronously.

Example input

{
  "queries": "web scraping api\nbest coffee machine\nsite:apify.com actor",
  "depth": 10,
  "location": "United States",
  "language": "English",
  "device": "desktop",
  "peopleAlsoAskDepth": 0,
  "includeAiOverview": false
}

Output

One dataset item = one Google results page (up to 10 organic results). For depth above 10 you get one item per page. The Output tab has two ready-made views: Overview (one row per page) and Organic results (one row per organic listing — the view most people export to CSV or Excel). Both export cleanly to JSON, CSV and Excel.

Example output item (real result for web scraping api, US / English / desktop, AI Overview add-on on)

Trimmed to two organic results and three AI Overview references for readability; a real run returns the full lists.

aiOverview is populated whenever Google returns an AI Overview (including free cached ones); it's null only when none is present. People Also Ask answer/url are filled only when Google returns an expandable text answer; Google increasingly serves these asynchronously, in which case only the question is available.

Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. Charges are applied when each query is submitted — the same moment the underlying data source bills us — not when the results come back. Costs are driven by your input (number of queries, depth, and the add-ons you enable), so they're predictable before the run finishes.

Event	When it's charged
Actor start	Once per run.
Results page	Once per results page requested (depth ÷ 10) for each query without a search operator.
Results page (with operator)	Same, but for queries containing a Google operator (site:, intitle:, etc.). These cost ~5× more upstream, so they're a separate, higher-priced event.
AI Overview	Once per query, when the add-on is on. Separate higher-priced event for operator queries.
AI Overview (with operator)	The operator variant of the above.
PAA expansion	Once per requested People Also Ask level (equals People Also Ask — expansion depth), per query.

Important — no refunds. Because charges happen at submission and Apify has no refund mechanism, a query is charged even if it later returns fewer pages than requested, no People Also Ask box, or no AI Overview. This mirrors how the data source bills us. Notes:

• If a query fails to be created at submission, it is not charged.
• Google's AI Overview, when present, is included in every SERP result at no extra cost — the AI Overview add-on charge is for asking us to additionally fetch ones Google loads asynchronously.
• You can cap a run with a budget limit — when it's reached, the Actor stops submitting (and charging for) new queries and finishes cleanly.

What this Actor does not do

By design, it does not:

• enrich results with leads, email addresses or email verification;
• return answers from ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity or Copilot (that's a separate AI Visibility Actor);
• extract the full page content of the ranking URLs (a separate product);
• accept Google URLs as input — keywords only;
• run its own scrapers, proxies or browsers — all data comes through the DataForSEO API.

FAQ

When exactly am I charged? At submission — the moment each query's task is created (which is when the data source bills us), not when results arrive. Charges follow your input: depth ÷ 10 page events per query, plus one AI Overview event per query if that add-on is on, plus one People Also Ask event per requested expansion level. A query that can't be created at submission is not charged, and Apify has no way to refund after that point.

A query returned fewer pages / no AI Overview / no PAA — why was it still charged? Because charging happens at submission, before the results exist, and there are no refunds on Apify. This matches how we're billed upstream. If you don't need an add-on for a query set, leave it off.

Why isn't it instant? Results are fetched via a queue, which keeps the price low. Most complete within ~5 minutes and stream into your dataset as they finish.

Do search operators cost more? Yes. Queries containing site:, inurl:, intitle:, filetype: and similar operators cost ~5× more upstream on the results-page and AI Overview portions, so those are billed as separate, higher-priced events. (People Also Ask is not affected by operators.)

Why is a People Also Ask answer sometimes empty? Google increasingly serves PAA answers as an AI Overview that loads asynchronously, after the page is returned — in that case you get the question but the answer text isn't captured.
