Quickstart

Make a single request and get back a fully parsed Google Search response. No HTML parsing, no proxy rotation, no retry logic to build.

1. Grab your API key

   Log in at shifter.io/panel and open SERP API → API Keys. Copy an active key.

2. Run a Google search

   curl

   curl "https://serp.shifter.io/v1?engine=google&api_key=YOUR_API_KEY&q=residential+proxies"

   Python

   import requests
   
   params = {
       "engine": "google",
       "api_key": "YOUR_API_KEY",
       "q": "residential proxies",
   }
   r = requests.get("https://serp.shifter.io/v1", params=params)
   print(r.json()["organic_results"][:3])

   Node.js

   import fetch from 'node-fetch';
   
   const url = 'https://serp.shifter.io/v1?' + new URLSearchParams({
     engine: 'google',
     api_key: 'YOUR_API_KEY',
     q: 'residential proxies',
   });
   const data = await (await fetch(url)).json();
   console.log(data.organic_results.slice(0, 3));

3. Localize the results

   Add location= to get what a user in that place would see. For precise geo-targeting, see the Locations API.

   curl "https://serp.shifter.io/v1?engine=google&api_key=YOUR_API_KEY&q=pizza&location=Chicago%2C+Illinois"

4. Switch engines

   Change the engine parameter to target any supported surface, google_maps, google_jobs, bing, yandex. Full list on Google, Bing, Yandex, and Amazon.

Tip

Failed or blocked requests are not charged. Retries happen inside the API, transparent to you.
