Web scraping shouldn't cost a fortune—or require a full-time engineer to manage. SerpAPI is built for one job—scraping search engines—but it comes at a steep price. Why pay more for a limited tool when you can scrape the entire web for less? We charge by the number of successful requests, not by source, keyword, or SERP type. No upsells or special pricing for different content types. From headless browser support to custom JavaScript and CAPTCHA handling, all features are available to all users—whether you're making 10 requests or 10,000. Working with SerpAPI means you're locked into a search engine use case. Our API is more flexible—you can scrape any site, in real time, with zero setup. No scraping templates or source-specific rules to manage. Get started with a single line. Just send us your target URL—we'll handle JavaScript rendering, proxies, CAPTCHAs, and more behind the scenes. Need fine-tuned control? Use our new proxy mode to plug ScrapingBee into any proxy-driven workflow. Our algorithm automatically chooses the right proxy pool, location, and headers to maximize success across any website—not just Google SERPs. We stay under the radar with browser fingerprinting tricks that reduce the chances of triggering CAPTCHAs. Modern websites require rendering. We handle that with headless Chrome so you can extract content from any JS-heavy page. Need to scroll, click, or close a modal? Run your own JavaScript snippet within the page before the data is returned. We believe developers deserve tools that are fast to use and easy to integrate—plus human support when things get tricky. From the first request to advanced configurations, our API docs are written by engineers, for engineers. Use our ready-made examples in Python, JavaScript, PHP, Go, curl, or Java to hit the ground running. We’ve compiled answers, tutorials, and use-case walk-throughs based on real-world customer projects. Our support team responds fast—whether you're debugging or need integration advice.
