Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. Actors are written with capital "A". ## 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. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Google Search Results Scraper (SERP) Scrape **Google search results** for any keyword and get clean, structured data — position, title, URL, displayed URL, and snippet for every organic result. Built for SEO rank tracking, SERP monitoring, content research, and competitive analysis. No Google API key, no quotas, no CSE limits. Type a query, pick how many pages, and export the results to CSV, Excel, or JSON — or pull them from the API. ### What you get per result - **position** — rank on the SERP (continuous across pages) - **title** — result title - **url** — destination URL - **displayed_url** — the green/breadcrumb URL Google shows - **snippet** — result description - **query** — the query that produced it ### Input | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `query` | string (required) | What to search for. | | `maxPages` | integer | Result pages (~10 organic each). Default 1. | | `country` / `language` | string | Localize results (e.g. `us` / `en`). | | `sites` | string | Restrict to domains (comma-separated, `site:`). | | `exact_phrase` | string | Require an exact phrase. | | `exclude_terms` | string | Exclude terms (comma-separated). | | `time_range` | select | Restrict by recency (past hour … past year). | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | **Residential proxies recommended.** | #### Example input ```json { "query": "best running shoes", "maxPages": 3, "country": "us", "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] } } ```` ### How to use 1. Enter your **query** and set **Max pages**. 2. Optionally set country/language or filters. 3. Keep proxy on **Residential** and click **Start**. 4. Export from the **Dataset** tab. ### Related scrapers - **Google News Scraper** — news articles for a query. - **Google Shopping Scraper** — product listings with prices. - **Google Scholar Scraper** — academic papers and citations. ### FAQ **Do I need a Google API key?** No — and there's no 100-query/day CSE cap. **Is it legal?** It collects only publicly visible search results; use the data in line with applicable laws and Google's terms. # Actor input Schema ## `query` (type: `string`): What to search for on Google, exactly as you'd type it in the search box. ## `maxPages` (type: `integer`): How many result pages to scrape (~10 organic results per page). ## `country` (type: `string`): Two-letter country code for localized results, e.g. us, gb, de. Default us. ## `language` (type: `string`): Two-letter language code, e.g. en, es, fr. ## `sites` (type: `string`): Optional. Comma-separated domains to restrict results to (site:), e.g. reddit.com, nytimes.com ## `exact_phrase` (type: `string`): Optional. Require this exact phrase in results. ## `exclude_terms` (type: `string`): Optional. Comma-separated terms to exclude (-term). ## `time_range` (type: `string`): Optional. Restrict by recency. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Optional. This Actor automatically uses Apify's GOOGLE\_SERP proxy (purpose-built for Google, no setup needed). Only set this if you want to override that with your own proxy. ## Actor input object example ```json { "query": "best running shoes", "maxPages": 1, "country": "us", "language": "en", "time_range": "", "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ], "apifyProxyCountry": "US" } } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "query": "best running shoes", "maxPages": 1, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ], "apifyProxyCountry": "US" } }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("rdan99848/google-search-results-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
