For free, high-volume, or unlimited search engine data, you'll need to explore third-party APIs, as major search engines offer limited free access. Recommended options include Serpstack (1000 free monthly searches), Apify (a platform with SERP scraping actors), Brave Search API (privacy-focused), and DDGS (an open-source Python library for DuckDuckGo). For higher volumes, you may need to pay for a plan with services like SerpWow, SerpApi, or SearchApi.

Free options with limitations:

  • Google Custom Search JSON API: Offers 100 free queries per day, with additional requests at a cost.

  • Serpstack: Provides 1000 free searches per month for real-time Google SERP data.

  • Apify: A web scraping platform that offers pre-built "actors" for scraping SERP data, often with a free tier.

  • Brave Search API: A privacy-focused option with an API, though details on its free tier vary.

  • DDGS: An open-source Python library that allows you to get search results from DuckDuckGo.

Options for higher volume or more features (often paid):

  • SerpWow: Supports various search engines including Google, Yahoo, and Bing.

  • RapidAPI Marketplace: A platform hosting numerous search APIs, with varying pricing and features.

  • ScrapingBee: An API service that handles proxy rotation for efficient web scraping, including SERP data.

  • SerpApi: and SearchApi: Offer real-time SERP data, though generally at a cost for higher volumes.

  • ZenSerp: An SEO-focused API service that provides real-time Google SERP data.

Tips for your AI project:

  • Check the specific data you need: Different APIs offer different data points.

  • Consider proxy rotation: For high-volume use, a service that rotates proxies is essential to avoid being blocked.

  • Explore API marketplaces: Marketplaces like RapidAPI can help you find and compare various search APIs
