The Bright Data SERP API solution allows you to focus on what matters most, the data. It provides you with a 3-in-1 proxy unlocking solution that autonomously takes care of the proxy management (which proxy to use and when), unlocking logic (captcha solving, fingerprinting, retries, best headers, etc), and scraping functionality. 
In your code its as easy as swapping out the 1 line of your regular proxy network request with this 1 line SERP API request
You only pay for successful requests.
Because pricing is done according to number of pages (price per 1k requests), the bandwidth of your request doesn’t matter.
Use real user devices with laser-focused geotargeting (including city-level) to collect accurate Search Engine Result Pages (SERPs) from major search engines as a real user.
Bright Data can support your growing traffic needs and peak periods with high success rates and exceptional response time (under 5 seconds), regardless of your request volume.
Save money on data extraction engineers and IT professionals, without worrying about server maintenance.
Each request is sent from a different IP ensuring no IP is flagged or banned.
Get parsed or unparsed responses in JSON or HTML format for easy integration with any system.
Bright Data supports a wide variety of tailored parameters to answer your search requirements including different search types, different devices, results per page, etc.
Access 72 million+ real user IPs in all geolocations.
With Bright Data’s SERP API, it’s easy to collect Google Search by Image data.Google reverse image search (officially “Google Search by Image”), is a service provided by Google that allows users to search for images using an image as the starting point, rather than a written or spoken search query.
The JSON response includes the image in base64 encoding.
curl -v --compressed --proxy brd.superproxy.io:33335 --proxy-user brd-customer-<customer_id>-zone-<zone_name>:<zone_password> "https://www.google.com/searchbyimage?image_url={TARGET_IMAGE_URL}"

Bright Data’s SERP API makes it easy to collect hotel data, like prices, availability, reviews, and more.There are two ways to collect hotel data:
Provides limited info per specific hotel on pricing and datesWhen you search for a specific hotel using Google Search, its details and reviews appear in the knowledge graph/widget that you can see on the right side below:hotels-html.pngYou can set arrival and departure dates, the number of guests, and compare pricing..With SERP API, you can set these fields to collect different price combinations using dedicated parameters. See the full set of hotel parameters and features within our API documentation.hotels-availability.png
When targeting HTTPS, URL data is encrypted. Therefore, for SERP API to decrypt the data and return the result, you will need to download and install the Bright Data Certificate.Here are sample code on how to send HTTPS requests:
curl "https://www.google.com/search?q=pizza&lum_json=1" -v --insecure --compressed --proxy brd.superproxy.io:33335 --proxy-user brd-customer-<customer_id>-zone-<zone_name>:<zone_password>
Use the cacert flag followed by the certificate file path:
Shell
curl -v --compressed "https://www.google.com/search?q=pizza&lum_json=1" --cacert “{cert file path}“ --proxy brd.superproxy.io:33335 --proxy-user brd-customer-<customer_id>-zone-<zone_name>:<zone_password>
Please refer to this article: Parsing Search Results
SERP API supports sending 2 parallel query requests with one API request using the multi parameter.These parallel requests use the same peer IP and session and can be used for collecting additional data, comparison tests, etc. - e.g., making a pair of requests with different parameters/values. They use the same IP and session.
Conditions:
  • Supported only for a zone with asynchronous requests enabled
  • Supported only for Google Search
  • Limited to 2 requests
  • Billed as 2 requests
Use Case:
multi:[
  {
    "keyword": "pizza",
    "num": 20
  },
  {
    "keyword": "pizza",
    "num": 100
  }
]
Sample Code:
curl -v --compressed "https://api.brightdata.com/serp/req" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY" -d "{\"zone\":\"$ZONE\",\"country\":\"us\",\"multi\":[{\"keyword\":\"pizza\",\"num\":20},{\"keyword\":\"pizza\",\"num\":100}]}"
Indeed, as of September 10, 2025, Google has started phasing out the num parameter feature, which may result in it not functioning as expected.Due to this change, we recommend that customers requiring additional Google SERP pages (beyond the first) transition to using paginated requests with the start parameter instead. This involves sending individual requests to each needed page to collect the full set of results.For example, to retrieve 100 results, you would send 10 requests, incrementing the start value by 10 for each request. See our pagination guide for more info.Note: If this change in Google’s behavior causes a substantial increase in request volumes, please contact your account manager or our sales team to discuss options that suit your new traffic.

In the following article, we will analyze the different options for date-specific search queries on Bing and how to use them effectively

Types of Date Filter Queries

No date filter applied

​
Determining the Sequence String for “Exact Match” Query

To perform an Exact match date search, you need to calculate the sequence string for your desired date range. Follow these steps to determine the sequence string.
1

Use known sequence as a “Starting Point”

Use January 1, 2024 as the starting point with known sequence: 19723
2

Calculate StartDateSequence

  • Count the days from January 1 to your desired starting date.
  • Add the number of days counted to the sequence number of January 1 to get the StartDateSequence.
    Counting starts from “0”. e.g. 0, 1, 2, 3 …

​
Example:

To calculate the sequence number for February 4, 2024:
  • Total days from January 1 to February 4: 35 days
  • 35 - 1 (counting starts at “0”) = 34
  • February 4, 2024: 19723 (Jan1) + 34 = 19757 (StartDateSequence)
3

Calculate EndDateSequence

Add the number of days in your date range to the StartDateSequence to get the EndDateSequence.

​
Example:

To calculate the sequence number for February 20, 2024:
  • February 4, 2024: 19757
  • Days from February 4 to February 20: 17 days
  • 17 - 1 (counting starts at “0”) = 16
  • February 20, 2024: 19757 + 16 = 19773 (EndDateSequence)
4

Form the Sequence String

  • Use the format ez5_StartDateSequence_EndDateSequence
  • Replace StartDateSequence with the sequence number calculated above for the starting date.
  • Replace EndDateSequence with the sequence number calculated above for the ending date.

​
Example: For February 4, 2024, to February 20, 2024:

With the above, you can construct URLs to query Bing for any specific date range.
SERP API supports a select number of generic domains/endpoints related to search engines, some specific subdomains or endpoints, may not be supported - example: https://trends.google.com/trends Is not supported while https://trends.google.com/trends/explore Is supported.To see a list of working examples of domains and paths that are supported, we highly recommend that you check the SERP Playground and the SERP Documentation.
If you’re monitoring ads in Google search results and want to maximize visibility, consider using our Enhanced Ads feature for Google.com SERP API requests.Default SERP Behavior:
  • Retrieves both organic search results and ads across a broad geographical scope. With Enhanced Ads Enabled:
  • Expands the range of search results and ads, simulating an incognito browsing experience without cookies.
To activate this feature, navigate to your SERP API zone in the control panel and enable it from the configuration tab.Learn More
