Frequently asked questions
What is the Google Search API?+
The Google Search API is a REST API from Captapi that returns public Google Search data as clean, structured JSON. It covers 1 endpoint — Search — behind one Bearer API key, with no OAuth flow and no scrapers to build or maintain.
What data can I get from the Google Search API?+
Extract public Google SERP results for SEO, rank tracking, and market research. Each endpoint is a single GET request that responds with predictable JSON fields, so the data is ready for dashboards, AI pipelines, and automations.
Do I need a Google Search developer account or OAuth?+
No. You only need a Captapi key (capt_live_...), sent as an Authorization: Bearer header. The same key works across all 29 platforms Captapi supports. We handle proxies, rate limits, retries, and parsing for you.
How much does the Google Search API cost?+
Google Search endpoints cost between 42 and 42 credits per call, depending on the endpoint. New accounts start with 100 free credits (no credit card), and repeat calls are served from a 24-hour cache for 0 credits.
Can AI agents use the Google Search API?+
Yes. Every Google Search endpoint is exposed as a tool in the official MCP server (@captapi/mcp) for Claude, Cursor, and VS Code, and is also available through the @captapi/cli CLI, an n8n community node, a Make.com app, and an Apify Actor.
Is the Google Search API suitable for production use?+
Yes. It is a stable REST API with predictable JSON, automatic retries, upstream fallbacks, and a shared 24-hour cache. Only successful responses consume credits — failed or empty results are never charged.
