SERP APIs
A SERP API returns search results as structured data: organic listings, ads, local packs, shopping boxes, and the answer panels, parsed and ready to store. Rank trackers, SEO platforms, and AI products that need live search all sit on top of one. This category covers services whose main product is search engine results. General page fetching is graded under web scraping APIs. The grade rewards parser accuracy on the newer result types, honest location and language targeting, latency you can build a product on, and pricing that doesn't punish a failed lookup. A provider that quietly serves a cached result instead of a live query is marked down hard.
