June 2025: Update

New
Here’s what’s new across our APIs, infrastructure, and what’s coming next.

​Google Light API​


A stripped-down version of the Google Search API returning only core results: organic listings, knowledge graph, answer boxes, and related questions. Thanks to the reduced payload, it delivers faster responses and lower latency. Ideal for LLM integrations and content retrieval workflows.

Performance & infrastructure updates


We’ve made backend upgrades to scale more efficiently, improve response times, and prepare for significantly higher traffic.
  • Infrastructure scaling tested up to 5k QPS
  • API caching added
  • Removed all DB-level write/read locks
  • Deeply profiled the API to remove any bottlenecks
  • Next milestone: 10k QPS test this month
  • Work included multiple weekend sprints. We're happy with the results.

Google Search API Performance Improvements



Amazon Product API Performance Improvements



Zero retention mode (Enterprise only)


A high-compliance mode available via zero_retention=true (custom Enterprise contracts only).
  • A special parameter on our side enables ZDR mode. (zero_retention=true)
  • Request parameters are held in memory only.
  • HTML and JSON are deleted after response is built.
  • No logs at application, infrastructure, or subprocessor level
  • Continous Integration (CI) checks on every commit that identify data retention regressions
  • Manual infrastructure audits added for safety

For debugging, send zero_retention=false and we’ll log & save in the usual way.
