GPA, above 16 of the 38 other SERP and SEO data APIs we grade

It is now part of Oxylabs' Web Scraper API, which also scrapes AI answers from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Mode. One monthly subscription pays for every Oxylabs product at per-result rates.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Oxylabs SERP Scraper API, taken from its own pages and our grades.

The report card
Best for search data on the same bill as Oxylabs proxies
Oxylabs' SERP scraper collects Google, Bing, Baidu and Yandex results and AI answers, billed per result from one monthly subscription that covers every Oxylabs product. It averages under 10 seconds a result, pages that come back with a 4xx error are still billed, and AI parsing costs extra.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Starter is $30 a month, inside this category's usual range, for about 22,000 rendered Google results at $1.35 per 1,000. That money is shared with every other Oxylabs product you use, and VAT may be added. |
| Free plan and trial | C | No free plan: $5 of welcome credits toward any Oxylabs product, and then it's $30 a month. |
| Features | B | Google, Bing, Baidu and Yandex, with Google AI Overviews, AI Mode, Lens and local results, answers from ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini, targeting down to coordinates, a scheduler and cloud delivery. Nothing in the listing shows a gap in the core job. |
| Ease of use | C | Judged on how fast a developer gets a first result: parsed JSON for common Google pages and OxyCopilot, which writes requests and parsing rules for you. No rating on record, and other pages need a custom parser. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, with an API, an MCP server and delivery straight to a cloud storage bucket. No desktop or phone app, so B is the top. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Oxylabs SERP Scraper API is for
- Fits if you already pay Oxylabs for proxies and want search results from the same budget
- Works for checking rankings at exact coordinates in many places
Who it is not for
- Watch out: results with 2xx or 4xx status codes from the target site count as successful and are billed
- Pricey if you want AI parsing, at $3 per 1,000 parsed pages on every plan
- Skip it if you need results in under a second, which takes the separate /Search endpoint at $1 per 1,000
- Tight if you use other Oxylabs products, since they draw on the same monthly spend
- Watch out: prices exclude VAT and other sales taxes, added where required
Good to know
Good for
- Teams already buying Oxylabs proxies who want SERP data on the same bill

- Results with 2xx or 4xx status codes from the target site count as successful and are billed.
- AI parsing costs $3 per 1,000 parsed pages on every plan.
- Prices exclude VAT and other sales taxes, which are added where required.
