## Pricing

from $0.38 / 1,000 results

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## SERP Scraper: Bing Rank Tracker with Your Domain's Position

**SERP Scraper** - Search phrases on Bing and see every page's rank, plus your own domain's best position.

### What does SERP Scraper do?

Every result row says whether it is your tracked domain and gives its best position per phrase, with country code and 1-30 results per phrase.

- Bing results per phrase, many phrases in one run
- Track your domain: flag and best position per phrase
- Title, real URL, displayed URL and snippet per result, country code, 1-30 results
- DuckDuckGo and Google are optional and experimental; a blocked engine is listed in enginesFailed, the rest still return

### Who uses SERP Scraper, and for what

- SEO agencies - check a client's Bing rank per phrase
- Marketers - see which pages rank for a phrase in a country
- Researchers - collect the top results of many phrases

### Why this SERP Scraper?

Low cases fail because they copy a Google-only scraper with no reason to switch. This SERP Scraper checks every run and tells you plainly when a page could not be read, instead of returning empty or wrong rows.

### Data you get from SERP Scraper

Every result is one flat row with these fields (values from a real run):

| Field | Example |
|---|---|
| `query` | best vpn |
| `searchQuery` | best vpn |
| `type` | organic |
| `engine` | bing |
| `position` | 1 |
| `title` | The Best VPN Services We've Tested for 2026 - PCMag |
| `url` | https://www.pcmag.com/picks/the-best-vpn-services |
| `displayedUrl` | pcmag.com/picks/the-best-vpn-services |
| `domain` | pcmag.com |
| `snippet` | Oct 1, 2026 · Using a VPN (or virtual private network) is on... |
| `description` | Oct 1, 2026 · Using a VPN (or virtual private network) is on... |
| `ranksByEngine` | {"bing": 1} |
| `enginesAgreeing` | 1 |
| `isTrackedDomain` | false |
| `trackedDomainBestPosition` | 3 |
| `enginesFailed` | \[] |
| `checkedAt` | 2026-10-18T19:51:46+00:00 |

### How to use SERP Scraper

1. Press **Start** - the form already holds an example that works.
2. Put in your own input (see the fields on the Input tab).
3. Run it once, or put it on an **Apify Schedule** to get fresh rows every day.
4. Download the results as JSON, CSV or Excel, or send them to Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, the Apify API or an AI agent (Apify MCP server).

One flat row per result.

### How much does SERP Scraper cost?

You pay only per result (pay per event) - no monthly fee, no minimum, and the price per result is lower on Apify's Bronze, Silver and Gold plans. The exact price is on the **Pricing** tab. Apify's free plan credit is enough to try it on real input.

| You want | What you pay for |
|---|---|
| A quick test with the example | a few results |
| A daily scheduled run | only the rows that run returns |
| A big one-off export | the results delivered - set a maximum in the input |

### FAQ

**Does SERP Scraper need a login, cookies or an API key?** No. It reads public pages only.

**Can I run SERP Scraper on a schedule?** Yes - with Apify Schedules; each run returns fresh rows.

**Can I call it from Python, JavaScript or an AI agent?** Yes - through the Apify API, the Apify client libraries or the Apify MCP server.

**Is it legal?** It collects only data anyone can see without logging in. You are responsible for using it within the source site's terms and data protection law (GDPR, CCPA).

**What if the site blocks a request?** The run retries from a fresh connection and, if it still cannot read the page, stops with a clear message - never with made-up rows.

**Do I need proxies?** No setup needed - SERP Scraper uses Apify Proxy by default where the site needs it.

### Troubleshooting

- **No results:** check the input (a public URL or a search term that returns results in a normal browser), then try the example input once.
- **Fewer results than expected:** raise the maximum in the input; some sites show only a part of their data without logging in, and SERP Scraper never logs in.
- **The run stopped with a message:** the message says what the site answered; run it again later or with fewer items.

# Actor input Schema

## `queries` (type: `array`):

One search phrase per line, exactly as you would type it.

## `engines` (type: `array`):

bing (works every time). duckduckgo and google are experimental: they often show a human check from data-center addresses, then that engine is skipped, listed in enginesFailed, and the others still return.

## `resultsPerEngine` (type: `integer`):

Organic results kept per engine and phrase (Google: its first page, about 10).

## `country` (type: `string`):

Two letters, e.g. us, gb, de.

## `trackDomain` (type: `string`):

Optional, e.g. example.com. Every row says whether it is yours and your best position.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Stop after this many rows.

## `useApifyProxy` (type: `boolean`):

Recommended. Experimental engines may need a residential proxy.

## `proxyGroups` (type: `array`):

Optional, e.g. RESIDENTIAL.

## MCP server setup

}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
