Send your first async request

The following request submits an asynchronous SERP API job:
cURL
curl --request POST \
  --url 'https://api.brightdata.com/serp/req?zone=<serp-zone-name>' \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer <API_KEY>' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
      "query": {"q": "pizza",},
      "brd_json": "json"
    }'
Replace <API_KEY> and <serp-zone-name> with valid values.

Wait and check status

The request returns a response_id used to retrieve results after processing completes.
{
  "response_id": "s4t7w3619285042ra9dke1m8qx"
}
If the request is still processing, the API returns HTTP 202:
HTTP/202
"Request is pending"
Processing time is typically up to 5 minutes and may extend to 8 hours during peak periods.Responses are retained for up to 48 hours from submission time.

curl --silent --compressed \
  "https://api.brightdata.com/unblocker/get_result?&response_id=${RESPONSE_ID}" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer [API_KEY]" \
  -o results.json
The response body is written to results.json.
