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.
