Welcome

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

2.4

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

VALUE SERP is Traject Data's budget Google results API. It returns search, Maps, Shopping, News, product and place review results as JSON, HTML or CSV, with location and device targeting, and can run scheduled batches of up to 15,000 requests that are delivered to cloud storage. It is sold as monthly search plans or as pay-as-you-go requests. Traject Data has since been acquired by ScraperAPI.

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

Judged on how fast a developer gets a first result: a Locations API to look up places, and batches that run on a schedule.

The report card

Best for Google results paid as you go

VALUE SERP is Traject Data's lower-cost Google API, sold as $25 of pay-as-you-go requests or as monthly plans, with scheduled batches sent to cloud storage. It covers Google only, and ScraperAPI, which bought Traject Data, says it is moving the API onto its own infrastructure.

ToolGPA report cardVALUE SERPGraded Oct 23, 2026
SubjectGradeComment
Value for moneyB$25 buys 10,000 requests to use as you go, $2.50 per 1,000, inside this category's cheaper quarter. Monthly plans start at $50 for 25,000 searches on yearly billing ($56 monthly).
Free plan and trialCNo free plan: 100 free searches on sign-up with no card, and then it's a $25 top-up.
FeaturesCGoogle Search, Maps places, Shopping, News, product details and place reviews, with location and device targeting and batches of up to 15,000. Google only, though: the listing points to SerpWow for other engines.
Ease of useCJudged on how fast a developer gets a first result: a Locations API to look up places, and batches that run on a schedule. No rating on record, and no client libraries named.
Platforms and integrationsBWeb, with an API and batch delivery to Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage and Alibaba Cloud OSS. No desktop or phone app, so B is the top.
Grade point averageFair, out of 4.02.4

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 VALUE SERP is for

  • Fits if you only need Google and want to pay $25 at a time rather than monthly
  • Works for scheduled ranking snapshots dropped into S3 or Google Cloud Storage

Who it is not for

  • Skip it if you need Bing or other engines, which Traject Data sells as SerpWow
  • Watch out: ScraperAPI bought Traject Data and says it is moving Traject's APIs onto its own infrastructure
  • Tight if you go past a monthly plan, as extra requests cost from $1.60 per 1,000
  • Not for you if you want a free plan that renews, as the 100 searches come once

Good to know

Good for

  • Budget-minded teams that only need Google results
  • Scheduled rank and SERP snapshots delivered to cloud storage
  • Occasional use paid for with a small pay-as-you-go purchase

Worth knowing

  • It covers Google only; Traject Data's SerpWow is the product for other search engines.
  • Plans also come at 500,000 searches and from 2 million to 20 million a month, at $575 to $10,000 billed monthly.
  • Searches beyond a plan's allowance are billed per 1,000 requests, from $1.60 on the smallest plan.
  • Traject Data was acquired by ScraperAPI, which says it is moving Traject's APIs onto its own infrastructure.

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 VALUE SERP 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.

It costs $25, paid once.

What you could not

  • Search results fetched at scale from many countries without being blocked.
  • It plugs into other products, Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage and Azure Blob Storage among them, and has an API.

What this rests on. VALUE SERP’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.
