SERP API FAQ

[What is a SERP API? ](#What is a SERP API?)

Search engines regularly change their structure and algorithms making data scraping difficult. SERP API automatically adjusts to changing SERPs and provides real user’s results with a variety of tailored search parameters. Results will shift depending on your search history, device, and location but with SERP API you will never get blocked because of location. Data is delivered with accuracy and speed in JSON or HTML output.

Bright Data SERP API provides real user’s results in high volumes for all the major search engines.

[What are the benefits of SERP API? ](#What are the benefits of SERP API? )

Get real user search results from all major search engines using different search parameters, in real-time and with the highest success rates, regardless of your requests volume. Only pay for successful requests and enjoy response time under 5 sec. Use different location parameters to automatically target a suitable peer to get a better understanding on how different location and time change the search results. Use different devices and search types for a more accurate search.

[How are searches counted? ](#How are searches counted?)

Executing each API is counted as a request.
In asynchronous mode, only “send request” is counted and collecting the response is not counted.

[Is the data provided by SERP API accurate? ](#Is the data provided by SERP API accurate? )

Yes. Bright Data SERP API provides real user results that are 100% accurate in high volumes for all major search engines. Focus on analyzing SERP results without worrying about getting blocked or receiving misleading information–we’ll get you the accurate SERP results with incredible speed.

[What locations does the SERP API support? ](#What locations does the SERP API support? )

SERP API supports 195 countries – every country on Earth–and also enables city-level targeting.

[Is there a limit to the number of concurrent requests I can make? ](#Is there a limit to the number of concurrent requests I can make? )

No. There is no limit to the number of concurrent requests. SERP API is built for scale.

[When should I use asynchronous mode instead of regular requests? ](#When should I use asynchronous mode instead of regular requests?)

Use async mode for high-volume batch operations (1,000+ queries), non-urgent data collection, or when you need maximum reliability. Async offers:

Perfect for overnight batch jobs, competitor monitoring, or large-scale keyword research.

[How does async mode billing work? ](#How does async mode billing work?)

You're only charged when sending the request. Collecting the response is free, and you can retrieve it multiple times within 48 hours at no additional cost. This means if you need to download the same results multiple times, or if your first download fails, you won't be charged again.

[What output formats are available and when should I use each? ](#What output formats are available and when should I use each?)

SERP API offers three output formats:

Most developers use JSON for programmatic access, while AI/LLM applications prefer Markdown for cleaner context.
