Why Choose This Actor?

How It Works

This actor makes optimized API calls to retrieve Google Search results based on your query and stores them in Apify's dataset.

1. Provide a search query (e.g., "AI")
2. Set additional parameters (language, country, page number, etc.)
3. Receive structured search results in JSON format

language	string	Language for search results (default: en)	No
country	string	Country/region for search results (default: US)	No

Output Data Structure

Each search result item contains the following fields:

{
  "url": "https://example.com",       // Search result link
  "title": "Example Title",         // Search result title
  "content": "Example description...", // Search result description
  "position": 1,                    // Position in the search results list
  "query": "search keyword",         // Search query used
