Part 01 · Overview

Welcome

What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first

2.2

GPA, above 7 of the 38 other SERP and SEO data APIs we grade

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.

To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Scavio, taken from its own pages and our grades.

Judged on how fast a developer gets a first result: Python and JavaScript SDKs and an endpoint that copies Google's Custom Search JSON API.
From our grade for ease of use

    Google Search API

    Returns organic results, ads, the knowledge graph, AI Overview, related questions and more, by device, country, language and Google domain.

  6. 6

    Custom Search compatible endpoint

    A drop-in endpoint takes the same parameters and returns the same items list as Google's Custom Search JSON API, for moving existing code.

  7. 7

    Other Google surfaces

    Separate endpoints for Google Maps, News, Shopping, Flights and Hotels.

  8. 8

    A 2.2 GPA, above 7 of 38

    That is against the other SERP and SEO data APIs we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.

  9. 9

    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.

The report card

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.

ToolGPA report cardScavioGraded Oct 24, 2026
SubjectGradeComment
Value for moneyCProject 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.
Free plan and trialCNo free plan: 50 credits on sign-up with no card, once. That's 50 Google searches, a test and nothing more.
FeaturesCGoogle 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.
Ease of useCJudged 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.
Platforms and integrationsBWeb, 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.
Grade point averageFair, out of 4.02.2

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 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 it 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

Good to know

Good for

  • AI agents that need Google results and social data from one API
  • Teams moving off Google's Custom Search JSON API
  • Scheduled monitoring of prices, creators or rankings

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.

Keep it, or make your own?

Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.

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.
