Google SERP API — $0.40 / 1K Requests (⌀ $0.04 / 1K Results)

Scrape Google search results at scale, fast and cheap, with zero unblocking headaches. This actor wraps the ProxyScrape SERP API and streams parsed JSON (or raw HTML) results straight into your Apify dataset.

⚠️ Unofficial. This actor is an independent tool built by ProxyScrape. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Google LLC. "Google" is a trademark of Google LLC.

💰 Pricing

$0.40 per 1,000 requests — that's roughly $0.04 per 1,000 results on average, since Google returns ~10 organic results per page.

You're only charged for successful responses. Failed requests, timeouts, and 4xx/5xx errors are free.

Volume	Cost
1,000 requests (~10,000 results)	$0.40
10,000 requests (~100,000 results)	$4.00
100,000 requests (~1,000,000 results)	$40.00

✨ Why this actor

• Cheap. ~$0.04 / 1,000 results is among the lowest SERP prices on the marketplace.
• Fast. Configurable concurrency (default 10, up to 100 in parallel) with a single shared HTTP/2 connection pool.
• Reliable. Powered by ProxyScrape's residential proxy network — no CAPTCHAs, no IP bans.
• Flexible. Parsed JSON for quick integration, or raw HTML if you want to parse it yourself.
• Geo + language targeting. Any combination of gl (country) and hl (language) Google supports.
• Pay only for success. Errors and retries are on us.
