# Best SERP API: ranked by live price The best SERP API depends on the job. For bulk rank checks, the cheapest price per call wins, and this page ranks the looot catalog providers by that live price. For AI Overview, news or local results, pick the provider that has those endpoints. Your agent calls any of them with one key. ## Providers - dataforseo: The widest SERP coverage in the catalog. Organic results plus Bing, Yahoo, YouTube, news, images and local finder.

Also: AI Overview. - searchapi-io: A search API vendor with a Google organic endpoint among many other search endpoints. - scrapecreators: A social and web scraping provider that also has a Google organic endpoint. ## How we rank Every provider here has an endpoint for Google organic results by keyword in the looot catalog. We rank by the price per call of that endpoint, read live from the catalog. A cheaper call ranks higher. The catalog does not publish a measured success rate for these endpoints, so this page does not rank by one and quotes none. Extras are other SERP endpoints the provider has in the catalog. More extras does not mean better results. Providers outside the looot catalog are not ranked. ## Choosing one - Bing, Yahoo, YouTube, news or local results: dataforseo - Google AI Overview and AI Mode answers: cloro - Organic results plus AI Overview: anyapi - Search and social scraping from one provider: scrapecreators ## Prompt Use looot to check the Google results for my 20 keywords: for each keyword call the cheapest Google organic SERP endpoint, show the top 10 URLs and the position of my domain, and tell me the total cost. 1. Set up https://looot.ai/skill.md. 2. Search the catalog for each step and check its price before you call. 3. Run the cheapest endpoint that fits. 4. Show the results as a table and the total cost. ## What is the best SERP API? It depends on the job. This page ranks the looot catalog providers by live price per call for Google organic results. Pick the cheapest for bulk rank checks, or the provider with the endpoints you need, such as AI Overview, news or local results. ## What is the cheapest SERP API? The first row of the ranking above, read live from the catalog. Prices can change, so the page reads them on each refresh and shows no number when the catalog is unreachable. ## Is there a free SERP API? This page ranks priced endpoints. Free tiers, where a vendor has one, sit on the vendor's own plan page and are outside looot. ## What are the best SerpApi alternatives? SerpApi is not in the looot catalog, so this page does not rank it. The providers above return Google organic results by keyword, and your agent can call any of them with one key. ## How does an agent call a SERP API? Paste the prompt on this page into your agent. It sets up looot, finds the SERP endpoint, checks the price and runs the cheapest one that fits. ## What does a SERP API return? The results a search engine shows for a keyword, as structured data. Organic results usually carry a position, a title, a URL and a snippet. The exact fields depend on the provider. ## How do I check keyword rankings with a SERP API? Run each keyword, then read the position of your domain in the results. Checking on a timer needs scheduled runs, not available yet, so run it by hand when you want a fresh check. ## What is the difference between organic results and AI Overview? Organic results are the ranked links. An AI Overview is the generated answer shown above them. Some providers return both, and the extras tags in the ranking show which. ## Can I get Bing or YouTube results? Yes. DataForSEO has Bing, Yahoo and YouTube SERP endpoints in the catalog, shown as extras in the ranking. ## How much does one SERP call cost? It depends on the provider. The ranking above shows the live price per call for each one, and the catalog shows the price of any endpoint before you run it. ## Why does this page not show success rates? The catalog does not publish a measured success rate for these endpoints. We would rather rank by a number we can read than quote one we cannot. ## Do I pay while my agent is idle? No. looot bills per call, and nothing runs while your agent is idle. ## Related pages - /recipes/weekly-rank-tracker - /recipes/keyword-gap-vs-3-competitors - /recipes/ai-answer-visibility-check ## Last reviewed 2026-10-03.
