# Serpdog review (2026): is it worth it? > Google SERP API with a lighter half-price endpoint and scraping APIs Checked Oct 23, 2026 ยท graded Oct 23, 2026 by ToolGPA. Serpdog is a data extraction API with endpoints for Google Search, Maps, News, Shopping, Images, Videos, Scholar, Jobs, Finance and Autocomplete, plus Bing, YouTube, Amazon, Walmart, Yelp and LinkedIn Jobs. Results come back as JSON or raw HTML for any country, and a general web scraping API renders JavaScript and can route through premium residential proxies. - **Category:** SERP & SEO Data APIs - **Made by:** Serpdog - **Website:** https://serpdog.io - **Runs on:** Web - **Who should skip it:** Watch out: prices and plan limits couldn't be confirmed, so read its pricing page before paying. - **Facts last checked:** Oct 23, 2026 ## Pricing Serpdog's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site. ## Key features - **Google Search API:** Google results for any country and language, with location encoding, date ranges, result counts, paging, safe search and a choice of Google domain. - **Lite and Advanced search:** A Lite endpoint returns results faster with fewer SERP features at half the cost of the Advanced endpoint, which parses the full set. - **Other Google endpoints:** Maps with reviews, photos and posts, plus News, Shopping, Product, Images, Videos, Scholar, Jobs, Finance and Autocomplete. - **Other sources:** Bing search, YouTube search, Amazon and Walmart product data, Yelp search and LinkedIn job postings through their own endpoints. - **Web scraping API:** Fetch any page's HTML with headless JavaScript rendering, a wait time for heavy pages, and premium residential proxies by country. ## Good for - Developers who want Google results and other sources under one API key - Cheaper bulk rank checks through the Lite search endpoint ## Worth knowing - Serpdog's website blocks automated readers, so prices and plan limits could not be confirmed; check its pricing before buying. - Requests are retried for up to 60 seconds, and only successful responses are charged. - The documentation was last updated about two years ago, so some endpoints may have changed since. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 2.0 out of 4**, graded Oct 23, 2026. Serpdog has endpoints for Google Search, Maps, News, Shopping and Scholar, plus Bing, YouTube, Amazon and a web scraper. Its website blocks automated readers, so its prices couldn't be checked, and its documentation hasn't been updated in about two years. - **Value for money: C.** No price is on record. Serpdog's website turned our reader away, so neither its prices nor its plan limits could be confirmed; check them yourself before you pay. - **Free plan and trial: C.** Its documentation, last updated about two years ago, describes a free plan of 1,000 requests a month. Whether that still stands couldn't be confirmed. - **Features: C.** Google Search with Lite and Advanced endpoints, Maps, News, Shopping, Scholar and Jobs, plus Bing, YouTube, Amazon, Walmart and a web scraper. The documentation is about two years old, so the listing can't show what's current. - **Ease of use: C.** Judged on how fast a developer gets a first result: documented endpoints, with requests retried for up to 60 seconds. No rating on record, and the docs haven't been updated in about two years. - **Platforms and integrations: C.** Web only, with a REST API and no client libraries or integrations named in the listing. No desktop or phone app. These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from Serpdog's own documentation on 23 October 2026; its website turned our reader away, so its prices could not be checked. Not based on using the product, and shorter than our full reviews. ## Where it stands among SERP and SEO data APIs - Serpdog's GPA of 2.0 is higher than 1 of the 38 other SERP and SEO data APIs we grade, and level with 5. The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/seo-data-apis ## Keep it, or make your own? **Keep it.** To replace Serpdog 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: 32 of the 38 other SERP and SEO data APIs grade higher. - You could not: Search results fetched at scale from many countries without being blocked. - You could not: An API that other software can build on. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it. **Tags:** SERP API, Public API ## Alternatives - [Scrapingdog](https://toolgpa.com/tools/scrapingdog): Web scraping and Google SERP APIs on one shared credit plan.
