Scraper API for Google, social and shopping data, built for AI agents
Scavio report card
Fair · out of 4.0 · graded Oct 24, 2026
Best for Google and social data for AI agents
Scavio returns Google Search, AI Overview included, plus Maps, News, Shopping, Flights, Hotels and sites such as YouTube, Reddit and Amazon as JSON at 1 credit a search. Per search it sits at the dear end of this category, credits don't roll over even on yearly billing, and Google is the only search engine it lists.
Who Scavio is for
- Fits if you're moving code off Google's Custom Search JSON API
- Works for AI agents that need Google results and social data from one API
Who Scavio is not for
- Pricey if you search in volume, at about $3.43 per 1,000 on Project, or $10 per 1,000 paying as you go
- Skip it if you need Bing or another engine, as Google is the only search engine listed
- Tight if your usage swings, since credits refresh monthly and don't roll over, even on yearly billing
- Watch out: yearly plans can only be downgraded or cancelled when the paid year ends
- Tight if you're testing, with 50 free credits that never renew
Why Scavio gets a 2.2
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyProject is $24 a month on yearly billing, $30 monthly, between this category's cheaper quarter and its middle, for 7,000 credits. At 1 credit a search that's about $3.43 per 1,000, the dear end of the $1 to $4 rivals charge. Pay as you go is $0.01 a credit.
- CFree plan and trialNo free plan: 50 credits on sign-up with no card, once. That's 50 Google searches, a test and nothing more.
- CFeaturesGoogle Search with ads, the knowledge graph and AI Overview by device, country, language and domain, plus Maps, News, Shopping, Flights, Hotels, a Custom Search drop-in, and social and shopping sites. For search, though, Google is the only engine in the listing.
- CEase of useJudged on how fast a developer gets a first result: Python and JavaScript SDKs and an endpoint that copies Google's Custom Search JSON API. No rating on record.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb, with an API, SDKs and MCP, plus LangChain, OpenAI Agents SDK, Vercel AI SDK, CrewAI, Google ADK, Pydantic AI, Composio and n8n. No desktop or phone app, so B is the top.

Keep Scavio, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Scavio you would be making search results fetched at scale from many countries without being blocked. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 23 of the 38 other SERP and SEO data APIs grade higher. It costs $288 a year.
What you could not
- Search results fetched at scale from many countries without being blocked.
- It plugs into other products, LangChain, OpenAI Agents SDK and Vercel AI SDK among them, and has an API.
What this rests on. Scavio’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Scavio?
Scavio is a data API that returns structured JSON from Google Search, Maps, News, Shopping, Flights and Hotels, and from social, shopping, travel and job sites such as YouTube, Reddit, TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn, Amazon and Zillow, on one key. A Google search returns the full results page, AI Overview included, for 1 credit. It plugs into agent frameworks such as LangChain and CrewAI and into MCP clients.
Worth knowing
- A Google search costs 1 credit; heavier requests, such as a Reddit post with its full comment tree, cost 2.
- The 50 free credits are a one-time allowance and do not renew.
- Plan credits refresh monthly and do not roll over, even on yearly billing.
- Yearly plans can only be downgraded or cancelled at the end of the year paid for.
