Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why Choose ThorData's SERP API? All-in-One Solution: Proxy management (auto IP rotation), unlocking logic (CAPTCHA/fingerprint handling), and scraping capabilities.

   Zero Maintenance: No need to configure crawlers or maintain servers, saving engineering resources.

   Precise Data: Retrieves search results via real-user devices with city-level geo-targeting.

   Cost-Effective: Pay only for successful requests, <5s response time, supports 100M+ requests.

2. How to Implement Google Image Search?

   Example: In the API playground, enter the keyword q=pizza and set the search type parameter tbm=isch to return pizza images. Code snippet:

   curl https://scraperapi.thordata.com/request \
   -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
   -H "Authorization: Bearer Token" \
   -d '{"url": "https://www.google.com/search?q=pizza&json=1&tbm=isch"}'

3. What Are the Technical Requirements? Our API integrates seamlessly with most software/scripts (Python, cURL, PHP, Node.js, etc.) and requires minimal setup.

4. How to Integrate the SERP API? Two approaches:

   1. Real-time Integration: Send parameters to our endpoint; we handle URL generation and proxy/device selection.

   2. Proxy-style Integration: Replace your proxies with our entry nodes and send direct URLs (with optional headers).

5. How Does It Adapt to Search Engine Updates?

   • Continuously monitors structural changes.

   • Uses dynamic parsing and flexible configurations to adapt to HTML/algorithm updates.

6. Common Use Cases

   • Organic keyword tracking

   • Multi-location rank mapping

   • Brand protection (monitoring branded searches)

   • Price comparison (e-commerce products)

   • Market research (company/contact data)

   • Copyright infringement detection

7. Do I Need Additional Crawlers? No additional tools required! The API combines proxies, scraping infrastructure, and parsers in one product.

8. Handling Algorithm Updates

   • Real-time monitoring of engine changes.

   • Auto-adjusts parsing strategies.

   • Simulates human behavior to bypass anti-bot mechanisms.

9. Is Crawler Maintenance Needed? Absolutely not! The API automates IP rotation, CAPTCHA solving, and data parsing—focus solely on your business logic.
