### [**SerpApi Postman Collection**](https://www.postman.com/serpapi/serpapi/collection/11902956-d3293ab1-7eab-4904-9e25-6dc6e01048f2)

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](https://www.postman.com/serpapi/serpapi/collection/11902956-d3293ab1-7eab-4904-9e25-6dc6e01048f2)

### [**Google Maps API**](https://serpapi.com/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.
