The most complete Google Search results scraper available. It returns every SERP block Google exposes for a query (organic results, text ads, shopping ads, People Also Ask, related searches, featured snippet, knowledge panel, top stories, local pack and AI overview when present), plus derived fields like emphasizedKeywords, siteLinks and a normalized serpFeatures list, and gives you a full set of filters (country, language, location, device, time range, search type and advanced operators) to target exactly the SERP you need.

What it does

Give the actor one or more search terms (or full Google search URLs) and it fetches the live Google results pages, parses every block on each page, and writes one clean record per results page to the dataset. It handles the country, language, device and location targeting for you, rotates its own connection so you never configure a proxy, and retries automatically on soft blocks so you get real parsed results rather than empty pages.

Each record mirrors the shape of the leading Apify SERP actors: a searchQuery object describing exactly what was searched, then organicResults, paidResults, paidProducts, peopleAlsoAsk, relatedQueries, featuredSnippet, knowledgePanel, topStories, localResults, aiOverview, pagination and a normalized serpFeatures list. Blocks that are not present on a given SERP come back as empty arrays or null, never invented.

Two optional add-ons go beyond a raw scrape: an AI SERP intelligence pass that returns search intent, a synthesized answer, top entities, content gaps and suggested titles, and a People Also Ask expansion that runs extra searches to fill in full answers for the PAA questions.

Quickstart

Open the actor, paste this into the input, and press Run. It returns the first results page for each query.

{
  "queries": ["best running shoes", "seguro de coche"],
  "resultsPerPage": 10,
  "maxPagesPerQuery": 1,
  "countryCode": "us",
  "languageCode": "en"
}

queries accepts plain terms, advanced operators (site:, intitle:, OR, quotes, filetype:) or full https://www.google.com/search?q=... URLs. Every other field is optional.

Why choose this scraper

• Every SERP block in one record. Organic, ads, shopping ads, People Also Ask, related queries, featured snippet, knowledge panel, top stories, local pack and AI overview, plus a normalized serpFeatures list, in the shape the leading actors use.
• Value-adds no competitor offers together: People Also Ask full-answer expansion, AI SERP intelligence (search intent, synthesized answer, entities, content gaps, suggested titles), emphasized keywords, auto-encoded UULE from a plain-text location, and the normalized feature list.
• Reliability by design. A dedicated unblocking connection returns real parsed results rather than the JavaScript shells that block naive HTTP scrapers, with automatic retries. In our tests it returned real organic results on every query.
• Fair billing. One price per results page, a discount ladder at higher plans, add-ons off by default and charged only on success, and no charge for soft-blocked or empty pages.

Honest notes: on raw price per page, B and D are cheaper (this actor is priced for full-feature completeness and reliability, not to be the cheapest). Actor A additionally queries several external AI engines (Gemini, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Copilot) and offers leads enrichment; those are separate products beyond core SERP parsing, and our AI SERP intelligence add-on covers the synthesized-answer use case. Google renders AI overviews client-side, so aiOverview is populated only when present in the server HTML.

Billing and limits

• Pay per results page. You are charged one result event per Google results page returned, with a tiered price that decreases at higher Apify plans. See the pricing tab for the current price.
• Actor start. A small one-time apify-actor-start event is charged once per run.
• Optional add-ons, off by default, paying accounts only. ai_serp_intelligence (AI intent, synthesized answer, entities, content gaps, titles) and expand_people_also_ask (extra searches that fill in full PAA answers). Each is charged only when it genuinely returns data.
• No charge on failure. A soft-blocked or unparseable page writes a single item with an error field and is not charged. Empty results cost nothing.
• Spend cap respected. Set maxTotalChargeUsd on the run; once reached the actor stops emitting and charging further results.
• Free Apify plans are capped at 10 result pages per run and cannot use the paid add-ons. Upgrade for more.
• AI overview note. Google renders AI overviews client-side, so aiOverview is populated only when it is present in the server HTML for a query; it is null otherwise.

FAQ and troubleshooting

Do I need to configure a proxy? No. The actor handles the connection and anti-bot retries internally. There is no proxy input.

A page came back with an error field. Why? Google soft-blocked or returned an unparseable page for that request after retries. Those pages are not charged. Re-run the query; transient soft blocks usually clear.

Why is resultsTotal null? Google no longer shows the total result count on many layouts. When it is absent, the field is null rather than a guess.

Why is aiOverview null when I see one in my browser? AI overviews load with JavaScript in the browser. This is an HTTP scraper, so aiOverview is filled only when the overview text is present in the server response. For AI intent and a synthesized answer on every query, enable the aiSerpIntelligence add-on.

Can I search other countries and languages? Yes. Set countryCode and languageCode (for example es and es), and optionally location for a specific city. The connection is matched to the country.

How do I paginate? Set maxPagesPerQuery. The actor fetches pages 1..N for each query and returns one record per page. Each page is one billable result.

Is this an official Google tool? No. This actor is independent and has no affiliation with Google. It reads only publicly available search results.
