What does Google Search Scraper do?

Scrape Google Search (SERP) results at scale — organic listings, paid ads, AI Overview, knowledge graph, People Also Ask, local pack, news, related searches, inline videos — from Google. No CAPTCHAs, no TLS fingerprint tuning, no browser management.

Why use Google Search Scraper?

• Every SERP block. Organic, ads, AI Overview, knowledge graph, PAA, local pack, news, related, videos — one call returns them all.
• 200+ Google domains. google.com, google.co.uk, google.de, google.co.jp, etc. + gl / hl / device targeting.
• Fast and full modes. fast uses Google's lite endpoint (≈40% faster, organic-only). full returns the rich SERP.
• AI Overview chase. Optional follow-up fetch for Google's deferred AI Overview page_token.
• No anti-bot work. ScrapeBadger's residential proxy + browser-farm fallback handles SearchGuard, reCAPTCHA, consent walls.

What data can Google Search Scraper extract?

How to scrape Google Search

1. Click the Try for free button above.
2. Enter your search query in the Search query input (supports operators like site:, intitle:, "quoted", -exclude).
3. Optional: set country (gl), language (hl), domain, device, city-level location, time filter (tbs), safe search.
4. Pick mode: full for every SERP block (2 credits/page) or fast for organic-only (1 credit/page).
5. Set max_pages to paginate — the actor stops early when Google reports no more pages.
6. Click Start — results stream into the dataset tab, one record per SERP page.

How much will it cost?

$0.002 per SERP page fetched (mode=full), $0.001 per page (mode=fast). One dataset record per SERP page. max_pages: 3 → 3 records → $0.006 full / $0.003 fast. Apify compute units are extra; a typical 3-page run uses less than one CU.

Output

Every successful run streams records into the run's dataset. Download as JSON, CSV, XML, Excel, or HTML from the Dataset tab; consume programmatically via the Apify API or webhooks.

Example record:

{
"search_parameters":{
"q":"best coffee shops near me",
"gl":"us"
},
"organic_results":[
{
"position":1,
"title":"Top 10 coffee shops in NYC",
"link":"https://\u2026",
"snippet":"\u2026"
},
{
"position":2,
"title":"Local coffee near you",
"link":"https://\u2026",
"snippet":"\u2026"
}
],
"ai_overview":{
"text_blocks":[
{
"type":"paragraph",
"snippet":"\u2026"
}
],
"references":[]
},
"pagination":{
"next_page_token":"\u2026"
}
}

Tips / Advanced options

• Use mode=fast when you only need organic results. Half the price, 40% faster. Only upgrade to full when you need AI Overview, knowledge graph, local pack, or news.
• Batch with the scheduler. Apify's scheduler lets you run one query at a time on a cron. For bulk, start multiple runs in parallel.
• Filter by time. tbs: qdr:d for past 24h — perfect for brand monitoring.
• Combine with google-autocomplete-scraper. Expand seeds into long-tail keywords first, then SERP each one.

FAQ, Disclaimers, Support

Does this actor bypass Google CAPTCHAs?

Yes. ScrapeBadger's residential proxy + browser-farm fallback handles SearchGuard, reCAPTCHA, and consent walls transparently. You'll never see a CAPTCHA in the output.

Can I target a specific city?

Yes — set location to a city string like New York, NY. For more precision use a Google UULE-encoded value in uule (SDK-level).

What's the max num per page?

Google enforces 1-100. The actor clamps into that range.

Why do I get fewer results than max_pages suggests?

The actor stops early when Google reports no next page, saving credits. This is intentional.

Can I scrape Google Jobs / Maps / News via this actor?

No — those have dedicated actors: google-jobs-scraper, google-maps-scraper, google-news-scraper. This one is pure SERP.
