​Airbnb Property API​


The ​Airbnb Property API​ returns detailed structured data for a single Airbnb listing. It includes:

  • Property Data - The property object provides core fields such as id, title, description, link, rating, review count, guest_capacity, and accommodations (room type, beds, bath).
  • Amenities - A normalized amenities array, where each item includes name and is_available. This allows consistent feature parsing across listings.
  • Ratings - Category-level ratings are available under property_ratings, including cleanliness, accuracy, check-in, communication, location, and value.
  • Rules & Safety - house_rules contains check-in/checkout times, check-in method, and stay restrictions. safety_policies lists safety devices or requirements (e.g., smoke alarm, CO alarm).
  • Location & Images - gps_coordinates return latitude and longitude. The images array includes captioned image URLs for building galleries or media displays.
  • Host Information - A separate host object provides host ID, name, profile URL, bio, verification flags, rating, review count, hosting duration, response metrics, and avatar URL.

The structure is consistent with other accommodation APIs (e.g., Google Hotels Property), making it easy to reuse data models across different APIs.


​Airbnb Property Reviews API​


The ​Airbnb Reviews API ​returns structured review data for a single Airbnb listing. It includes:

  • Review Metadata - The search_information object exposes the total number of reviews available for the property.

  • Sorting Options - Reviews can be ordered using the sort_by parameter. Supported values are most_relevant (default), most_recent, highest_rating, and lowest_rating.
  • Topic Filtering - The topic_id parameter filters reviews by a single topic. Topics (e.g., location, cleanliness, hospitality, amenities, comfort, value, walkability, etc.) are provided in the topics field when available. topic_id cannot be used with the q search parameter.

The structure is consistent with other review-related APIs, making it straightforward to reuse filtering, pagination, and user-data handling logic across different APIs.


​Yandex Reverse Image API​


The ​Yandex Reverse Image API​ returns structured data for a reverse-image lookup. It includes:

Database Infrastructure Upgrade


We upgraded our primary database on December 1, 2025, to resolve intermittent HTTP 500 errors affecting approximately 0.0001% of requests, caused by connection exhaustion under high load.

Maintenance Window (UTC)

  • Start: December 1, 2025, at 11:00 UTC
  • End: December 1, 2025, at 11:13 UTC

We use AWS RDS Multi-AZ, which performs automatic failover during upgrades and typically completes in under 60 seconds. We didn't observe any noticeable disruption during the switch.

The new instance runs on a newer-generation CPU with significantly improved performance characteristics. Early metrics already show reduced request latency across API endpoints, and we're planning additional performance optimisations in the coming months.

This upgrade also provides the capacity headroom we've planned for the next 12 months of growth.


⏭️ What's coming next?

  • Facebook Business Page Reviews API
  • Instagram Profile Posts API
  • TripAdvisor API
  • Airbnb Experiences API

October 2025: Update

New
Today, we're thrilled to update you on some of the newest updates and give you a quick look at what’s coming next.

​Google Rank Tracker API (num=100)​


Google has deprecated the num parameter in standard search requests, which disrupted rank trackers and made it unreliable to fetch more than the default results. Our new Google Rank Tracker API solves this by letting you retrieve up to 100 organic results in a single request.

Highlights:
  • Organic results – identical JSON keys and fields as the Google Search API
  • Flexible results control – specify how many results to return (up to 100)
  • Consistent structure – no integration changes required

Context As of September 11, 2025, Google began phasing out the num=100 parameter. Many SEO tools relying on it have shown gaps, inflated impressions, corrections, or required multiple requests to achieve the same output. Our API maintains the browser session and returns 100 results by default (configurable), ensuring uninterrupted rank tracking while others adapt.

​Google AI Mode API​



The ​Google AI Mode API​ returns results from Google’s new AI-generated answers interface (the “AI Overview” style results). The response includes generated text blocks, references, and supporting content, alongside regular search results. It provides:

  • Text Blocks - Structured AI output, returned as paragraph, header, code_blocks, unordered_list, etc. Each block contains the generated content and optional reference_indexes mapping back to sources.
  • Markdown - Combined structured text blocks available as a single markdown string.
  • Reference Links - Sources cited by the AI, including title, link, snippet, and source.
  • Web Results - Standard organic search results (title, link, displayed_link, source, snippet).
  • Local Results - Place listings with position, title, link, rating, reviews, price, type, address, and is_closed.
  • Inline Shopping - Product listings with position, title, link, rating, reviews, price, extracted_price, and optional original pricing fields.

Google Product, Offers, Reviews, Specs APIs changes


The Google Product, Offers, and Reviews APIs have been migrated to the new Google Shopping UI. Existing keys remain unchanged, and behavior is consistent with previous versions. The separate GoogleProduct Specs API has been deprecated. All specifications are now included in the Google Product response when using the product_token parameter. Here are the latest changes for every engine:

  • product_id and prds parameters are still supported and continue to return offers and essential product information.
  • Use the product_token parameter from the Google Shopping API for more detailed product data, including specifications, variations, review_results, and more.
  • All product specifications are now included directly in the Product API (Specs API is no longer available).

  • product_id and prds parameters are still supported and continue to return offers.
  • sort_by, durability, and filters request parameters are no longer supported.

  • Only the product_token parameter (from the Google Shopping API) is supported.
  • rating parameter remains unchanged.
  • sort_by parameter remains unchanged.
  • filters_token parameter is deprecated.

​Yandex Search API​

The ​Yandex Search API​ returns rich, mixed-result SERPs from Yandex. It provides:

  • Knowledge Graph – Entity cards with title, description, source (name/link), attributes (e.g., birth date, height, relationships), profile links, and images.
  • Ads – Paid listings with position, title, tracking_link, destination link, domain, displayed_link, snippet, and optional sitelinks.

  • Inline Videos – Video previews with position, title, link, source, channel, duration, views, date, and thumbnail image.

JSON keys are kept the same as in the Google Search API.

​Bing Videos API​



The ​Bing Videos API​ returns video search results from Bing, with structured data for videos, ads, and recommendations. It provides:
  • Video Results – Each video includes position, title, link, snippet (description), length, source (e.g., YouTube), date, channel, views, and a thumbnail.
  • Shorts – Compact video results in short format, with position, title, link, channel, views, duration, and thumbnail.
  • Suggestions – Related search topics with quick-access links and preview thumbnails for refining the query.
  • Ads – Sponsored video listings with position, title, link, tracking_link, displayed_link, snippet, sitelinks (extra links), and extensions (additional highlights).

Google Requires Javascript for Search Results


As of January 16, 2025, Google now requires JavaScript to display search results. This change impacts users with JavaScript disabled, including those relying on accessibility tools or using certain SEO rank-checking solutions. Google claims this move will improve search result quality and protect against bots and spam.
This update caused disruptions across the SERP API industry, affecting most providers. SearchApi, however, is fully equipped to handle JavaScript-based scraping. Our system integrates headless browser technologies and advanced proxy management to ensure reliable, high-performance data delivery, even under these new constraints.

September 2024: Update

New
We've pushed some significant updates to our APIs and parsers this month. Here's your changelog of new features, critical fixes, and a roadmap of what we're building next.

​New Google Shopping Layout


Important: The new Google Shopping layout is opt-in. You will only be affected by these changes if you explicitly pass these gl values: `us`, `au`, `ca`, `tk`, `nf`, `nz`, `hm`, `cx`, `cc` and `hl=en` as request parameters. If you do not use these parameters, the old layout will continue to be used by default.

Now, let’s explore the key changes introduced in the new Google Shopping layout:
Changes to Request Parameters

  • [BREAKING] The `tbs` request parameter is no longer supported in the new layout. Instead of `tbs`, we introduce the new `shoprs` parameter that is responsible for custom filters. You can also apply filters in the search query directly.
  • [BREAKING] The `sort_by` request parameter is no longer supported in the new layout.
  • [BREAKING] The `num` request parameter is no longer supported in the new layout.
  • [BREAKING] The `price_min`, `price_max`, and `condition` request parameters are still supported; however, their functionality is different. Many filters can be triggered in the `q` search query parameter. That's exactly how we support these 3 filters: by adding `under`, `over`, `new`, or `used` keywords in the search query.
Remember, many of these filters can now be applied directly in the search query for greater flexibility. Here are some examples of how you can use it:

  • Search by price: charizard over $300.
  • Search by size: mens size 8.5 nike air.
  • Search by color: Playstation white.
  • Search nearby stores: Apparel nearby.
  • Search by condition: iphone used, macbook new.
  • Search by brand: prada dress.
  • Search discounted products: headphones on sale.

Updates to Parsed JSON Fields

  • [BREAKING] The `featured_results` top key removed, replaced by `popular_products`.
  • [BREAKING] Removed top keys: `related_results`, `nearby_results`, `categories`, `related_searches`, and `pagination`.
  • [BREAKING] `filters.options.tbs` changed to`filters.options.shoprs`.
  • [BREAKING] The `shopping_results.link` key is no longer supported. Use Google Product API to get direct shopping links.
  • [BREAKING] `shopping_results.extensions` and `shopping_results.merchant` keys are no longer supported.
  • [BREAKING] `shopping_ads.durability` and `shopping_results.durability` renamed to `condition`.
  • [NEW] Added keys: `shopping_results.delivery_return` and `shopping_results.snippet`.
  • [Planned] Direct product links.

Other keys stay the same as before.

How to Access the Old Shopping Layout

Omit passing the `hl` parameter.

​Old Google Shopping Layout (No changes in all other regions)


It's important to note that the old Google Shopping layout is still functional in other regions. The only case when this layout is not being triggered is when setting `gl` values to `us`, `au`, `ca`, `tk`, `nf`, `nz`, `hm`, `cx`, `cc` and `hl=en` request parameters. Any other combination of these parameters will trigger an old layout. For instance, setting `gl=de` and `hl=de` (or `gl=us` and `hl=es`) will allow you to view the old layout, which remains unaffected by the recent changes implemented in the new layout.

🌟 New Engine - Apple App Store API


We're excited to release the Apple App Store API, a new addition to the Google Play Store API. Apple App Store API provides product id, rating, reviews count, supported devices, languages, and more data. We are going to add App Details API, App Store Reviews API, and App Store Top Charts API next.

🏎️ Request time taken (20%-30% across engines)

We improved `request_time_taken` by 20%-30% across all the engines. It is still early, and we are heavily experimenting, but we know we can offer exceptional speed in the market. We will announce dedicated ultra-high-speed plans later this year.

July 2024: Update

New
We’re happy to share last month’s technical achievements, featuring significant parsing speed improvements, a newly released engine, and a handful of minor fixes.

🚀 Parsing Speed Performance




We've drastically enhanced our parsing speed across multiple engines. For instance, parsing a Google search for "Ice cream" with `num=100` has been reduced from 2.29 seconds to 0.5 seconds, and an Amazon product search for ASIN "BOBTD62N4J" has decreased from 0.72 seconds to just 0.07 seconds. That's a whopping 10x improvement for Amazon and almost 5x for Google. 😍

🌟 ​Bing News API​




We're excited to release the ​Bing News API​, providing organic results, trending, and related topics. You can also search by categories like Sports, Local, or Science. It supports mobile, tablet, and desktop layouts. We made organic results JSON keys consistent with the Google News API engine.

🔧 Engine Improvements


Google Trends API

  • Added support for an empty `q` value while searching for Related Topics and Related Queries. Also for Timeseries while searching with category. This enables you to get overall trends in specific categories or regions.

Google Maps Photos API

  • Implemented support for the `place_id` request parameter. ​Here​ is an API example.

Google Search API

  • Fixed `courses` parser. In some cases, this field wasn't parsed correctly.
  • Added `did_you_mean` parser in `search_information`.
  • Improved `snippet` extraction for an edge case.
  • Fixed `shopping_ads` to return all the results.
  • Fixed `weather_results` for `device=mobile` parameter to return all the results.
  • Fixed `expanded_links` for `device=mobile` parameter.
  • Fixed Swiss number extraction.

Google Patents API

  • Fixed case when `frequency` wasn't parsed correctly.

  • Google Hotels API
  • Open source integrations
  • Playground

Stay tuned for more updates! As always, we're committed to providing you with the best experience.

June 2024: Update

New
Today, we're thrilled to update you on our last month's improvements: released a new search engine, team features, published 2 new open-source integrations and added a bunch of minor fixes.

🌟 New Engines


We're excited to release Baidu Search API offering organic results, answer box, knowledge graph, related questions, top searches and more results.

To ease integration, JSON keys align closely with those of the Google Search or Bing Search APIs. You can configure Baidu to return up to 50 organic results per search. Perfect for building tools across.

👥 Team Accounts


To enable team functionality, users must have a Production plan or higher. When a user upgrades to a Production plan or higher, their account is automatically converted to a team account. Users on the Free and Developer plans will see a clear explanation on the Team page about how to access this feature.

Owners and Admins can invite other users by providing their name and email. Invited users can join the team using social sign-up, email/password, or an existing account. Additionally, the Owner can transfer the account to another user. Invited users must verify their email, and verified emails will be displayed on the Team page.

Team admin perspective

Admins have full access to manage team settings, invite and remove users, and monitor team activity. They can also manage billing and account settings, ensuring the team operates smoothly.
Developer perspective

Developers have access to the Search History and Search Analytics but do not have the same administrative privileges as admins. They cannot manage team settings or invite/remove users or manage billing, allowing them to focus on development tasks without altering team configurations.

🔗 Dify Integration


​Dify - an open-source LLM app development platform. Dify's intuitive interface combines AI workflow, RAG pipeline, agent capabilities, model management, observability features, and more, letting you quickly go from prototype to production.

We are excited to announce that SearchApi now integrates with four engines: Google Search, Google Jobs, Google News, and YouTube Transcripts APIs.

May 2024: Update

New
Today, we're thrilled to update you on our last month's improvements: released 4 new engines and added a bunch of minor fixes.

🌟 Freshly Released Engines:



Our new Google Maps Reviews API lets you access reviews of a given place. You can sort reviews by search query, topic id, or your chosen sorting parameter. API returns detailed information about the place, relevant topics, and the reviews themselves, making it easier to gather targeted insights.

Similar to the Google Maps Reviews API, the YouTube Comments API allows you to retrieve comments and their replies from any specific video.


Another newly released engine - YouTube Trending API. It allows you to access the most trending videos, music, and films based on a selected location, ensuring you stay informed about the most popular content worldwide.


Introducing our latest release – the YouTube Channel API. While this API efficiently scrapes videos, shorts, and other content from YouTube channels, its standout feature is the "About" section. You can easily scrape channel links, description, subscribers count, total views, join date, account location and other key details.

🔧 Engine Improvements:


Google Search API:

  • Fixed ratings & reviews in the `inline_shopping` block.
  • Added new explore brands field to the JSON response.
  • Fixed `discussions_and_forums` extraction.
  • Fixed `is_live` & `is_video` extraction in `top_stories` (both mobile & desktop).

Google News API:

  • Fixed `organic_results` selectors which caused an empty first organic result in some cases.

Google Lens API:

  • Text Results - fixed an issue that caused errors with wrongly identified text results.

Google Shopping API:

  • Fixed the `prds` parameter; it is no longer necessary to include the `pid:` value inside `prds`.
  • Fixed `product_link` inside `organic_results`. Default `gl` is now `us` (previously it was `en`, which caused some links to not open correctly).
  • Fixed `link` in `organic_result`. Corrected an issue where some links from Google Shopping pages resulted in 404 errors due to improper parsing of URL query parameters. We've updated the logic to ensure URLs are correctly formatted and fully accessible.

Google Product Reviews API:

  • Fixed product rating, which sometimes wouldn't return a rating value.
  • Added a new request parameter, "rating," which allows filtering results based on the rating score.

Google Images API:

  • Fixed `tbs` parameter. Some filters, like `size` or `color` were not working due to this issue.
  • Improved documentation examples.

Google Finance API:

  • Fixed an issue in financials where data for specific quarters was not being returned.​
  • Fixed an issue where financials would show infinite values.

YouTube Search API:

  • Fixed an issue that affected `organic_results` result positioning. Autocorrect result block was sometimes identified as the first result. It caused `"position": 1` to be missing in some cases.

Amazon Search API:

  • Fixed GTIN search. Now products that have similar "GTIN" are not selected anymore.

Other improvements:

  • Improved performance of Search History and Search Analytics pages.

💥 Global Google Outage Impact


We experienced disruptions due to a recent global outage of Google Search and its related services. This led to some users encountering a 502 (Bad Gateway) error. The interruptions lasted approximately 20-30 minutes on May 1st and briefly for an additional 5-10 minutes on May 2nd. As a result, SearchApi API calls related to Google searches timed out during these periods causing 503 response code. Please be aware that such events are infrequent and beyond our control.

⏭️ What are we working next?

  • Playground
  • Baidu Search API
  • Amazon Search API improvements
  • Google Hotels API
