Fast SERP images search

Bright Data offers a fast SERP service for Images. This service responds with a compact JSON to power real-time applications that need image search results. To gain access, please contact your Bright Data account manager.

Fast Images Search Request

Fast SERP for Google Images works best with the native proxy interface. If you need a REST API interface for your architecture, one can be provided. Both the x-unblock-data-format: parsed_light request header and the brd_json=1 URL parameter are required. Omitting either will result in an unexpected response format.

Native proxy request

curl -i --proxy fserp.brd.superproxy.io:33335 \
  --proxy-user brd-customer-<CUSTOMER>-zone-<ZONE>:<PASSWORD> \
  -k \
  -H 'x-unblock-data-format: parsed_light' \
  "https://www.google.com/search?q=pizza&udm=2&brd_json=1"

Response Format

A successful response contains a single required images array.
