Web Search API for AI Agents
and LLM Workflows

A Web Search API is a programmatic interface that lets you retrieve real-time search engine results in structured JSON format. Instead of scraping HTML yourself, you send a query and receive clean parsed data - including organic results, titles, URLs, snippets, and metadata - ready to use in your application or AI workflow.

You make a GET request to the SERPHouse API endpoint with your query and optional parameters such as location, language, device type, and result count. The API returns a structured JSON response with organic results, news, images, and other SERP features. Authentication uses an API key passed in the Authorization header.

Yes. The SERPHouse Web Search API is purpose-built for RAG workflows. Each result includes the URL, title, and snippet which you can feed directly into your LLM context window. The structured JSON format works natively with LangChain, LlamaIndex, and other RAG frameworks.

Each organic result includes position rank, title, URL, snippet, domain, and breadcrumbs. The full response also includes knowledge panels, people-also-ask boxes, related searches, news results, image results, and paid ads - all as structured JSON fields you can parse selectively.

The SERPHouse Web Search API returns results in under 5 seconds on average, with median response times under 1 second for most queries. Proxy rotation and CAPTCHA solving are handled automatically at the infrastructure level so you get consistent, fast results without building retry logic yourself.

Yes. The API supports web search, news, images, videos, shopping results, and local results. You can request specific result types using the type parameter, or retrieve the full SERP with all features in one call - avoiding the need to maintain multiple separate API integrations.

Yes. SERPHouse offers a free plan with API credits to get started - no credit card required. Free tier accounts can make live search requests and test all API features before upgrading to a paid plan that matches your query volume.

Pass the loc parameter for location (e.g. loc=United+States for United States, loc=United+Kingdom for United Kingdom) and the lang parameter for language (e.g. lang=en for English, lang=es for Spanish). The API supports 100+ countries and 50+ languages for localized results.

In LangChain, wrap the SERPHouse REST endpoint as a Tool using the requests wrapper or a custom BaseTool subclass. In LlamaIndex, create a custom reader that calls the API and returns Document objects. Both frameworks accept the structured JSON results directly, and the URL and snippet fields map naturally to document metadata and content.

SERPHouse provides real-time SERP data from Google, Bing, and Yahoo with structured JSON output, 100+ country support, and dedicated infrastructure. Unlike unofficial alternatives, it provides production-grade reliability, automatic proxy and CAPTCHA handling, and SLA-backed uptime - with competitive pricing designed for AI and LLM applications at scale.

Yes. SERPHouse is a direct alternative to SerpApi, Bright Data, Oxylabs, and similar SERP data providers. Key differences: SERPHouse returns real-time results (no cached data), covers Google, Bing, and Yahoo from a single endpoint, offers a free tier with no credit card required, and is priced competitively for AI and LLM use cases - including agent tool calling and RAG pipelines - where per-query cost matters at scale.

Yes. SERPHouse functions as a Google Search API - you send a query and receive structured JSON results from Google Search, including organic results, featured snippets, People Also Ask, knowledge panels, local pack, and Google AI Overviews. Set domain=google.com in your request to target Google specifically. The API also supports Bing and Yahoo if you need multi-engine coverage.
