WebScrapingAPI's SERP API returns parsed Google web, image, video, news, shopping and job results by location, language and device, on plans priced by searches a month. Only Google has a published price, though: Bing, DuckDuckGo and Yandex are quoted after a sales review, and general scraping is a separate subscription. - **Value for money: C.** Starter is $28 a month for 10,000 Google searches, between this category's cheaper quarter and its middle, at $2.80 per 1,000. Grow is $130 for 50,000, still $2.60 per 1,000. - **Free plan and trial: C.** No free plan: a trial of 100 Google searches. That's enough to check the parsing, not to run anything. - **Features: C.** Google web, image, video, news, shopping and job results with domain, location, language, device and result window, as JSON, CSV or HTML. The gap is in the listing: Bing, DuckDuckGo and Yandex sit only on Custom plans priced after a review. - **Ease of use: C.** Judged on how fast a developer gets a first result: one Google endpoint with parsed output and bulk processing. No rating on record, and no client libraries or integrations named in the listing. - **Platforms and integrations: C.** Web only, with a REST API and no integrations, SDKs or MCP server named in the listing. No desktop or phone app. These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from WebScrapingAPI's own pages on 23 October 2026.

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 WebScrapingAPI 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. It costs $336 a year. - 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 - [SerpApi](https://toolgpa.com/tools/serpapi): Real-time search results API for Google and dozens of other engines.
