Frequently Asked Questions
Why Choose ThorData's SERP API?
Three-in-One Solution: Integrates proxy management (automatic IP switching), unlocking logic (automatic handling of CAPTCHAs/fingerprint recognition), and crawling functionality.
Zero Maintenance Cost: No need to configure crawlers or maintain servers, saving engineering resources.
Accurate Data: Obtain search engine results through real user devices and city-level geolocation.
Cost-Effective: Only charges for successful requests (CPM pricing), with response speed < 5 seconds, supporting hundreds of millions of requests.
How to Implement Google Image Search ?
For example: In the API playground, enter the keyword "q=pizza" and find the search type parameter. When "tbm=images" is set, pizza images will be returned.
Code snippet:
curl -X POST https://scraperapi.thordata.com/request \
-H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer token" \
-d "engine=google" \
-d "q=pizza" \
-d "json=1" \
-d "tbm=images"What are the technical requirements for the SERP API ?
Our scraping API works seamlessly with most software programs and scripts, ensuring easy integration into your existing workflow. Whether you use Python, cURL, PHP, Node.js, or any other programming language, the API is designed to adapt to your technical environment with minimal setup.
How to integrate your SERP API ?
If you are not a programmer, API integration may be completely beyond your comprehension. That’s why we have designed two methods for integrating our API — choose the one that works best for you!
Real-time integration allows you to send a set of parameters to the API endpoint and retrieve the requested results. This integration is easier, especially if you are not very tech-savvy, because we will build the URL ourselves and select all relevant details (such as the correct proxy, device, etc.) based on the parameters you specify.
If you have used proxies before, proxy-like integration is the best and simplest option (please note that you need to provide a complete list of URLs for this). Just replace your proxy with our entry node, send your URLs as usual, and leave the rest to us. If you wish, you can also send some additional preferences in the request headers.
How does the SERP API adapt to changes in search engine structures and algorithms?
Our SERP API adapts to changes in search engine structures and algorithms by continuously monitoring updates and implementing agile response strategies. It relies on dynamic parsing technology and flexible configurations to adapt to modifications in HTML structure or result layouts.
What are the common use cases of SERP API?
Organic keyword tracking
Plotting rankings of various keywords for a company across different locations.
Brand protection
Tracking top results for a company's brand and trademarks.
Price comparison
Searching for products on online shopping websites and comparing prices from different suppliers.
Market research
Collecting information such as companies, contacts, and locations.
Copyright infringement detection
Searching for images or other copyrighted content.
Do I need crawlers or scrapers to collect SERP data?
If you have our SERP API, you do not need any additional tools to collect SERP data, whether crawlers, scrapers, or parsers. Our SERP API operates as a complete scraping API, combining a proxy network, scraping infrastructure, and parsers into a single product.
How to adapt to search engine algorithm updates?
Monitor changes in engine structure in real-time and dynamically adjust parsing strategies. Automatically handle JS rendering and anti-bot mechanisms (simulate real user behavior)
Is additional crawler configuration required?
No crawler tools are needed: the API has built-in three-in-one capabilities of proxy network, crawling infrastructure, and data parser.
