The past week at SerpApi brought new APIs, new features, expanded scraping capabilities, steady improvements to existing APIs, and a range of important bug fixes.

⭐️ Top Updates

SerpApi Postman Collection

Our official Postman collection is now live! It covers all 113 API endpoints across 21 folders grouped by search engine, with collection-level API key authentication — set your api_key once and it applies to every request automatically. Every collection, folder, and individual request includes descriptions pulled from our docs, and each request comes with real saved response examples so you can browse expected output. All parameters are pre-filled and ready to run out of the box. Postman Collection

Google Maps API

We've expanded the Google Maps API with support for parsing vacation rentals, neighborhoods, and hotels directly from Google Maps search results. Developers can now extract structured data for these new place types, including place_id fields for easy cross-referencing. This update provides richer location data straight from Google Maps.
