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

⭐️ Top Updates

Team Management Feature

We've launched the Team Management feature, solving one of the most common pain points for teams using SerpApi: managing access, keys, and permissions across multiple people and environments. Teams can now invite members with granular role-based access control. Generate unique API keys per person or environment (dev, staging, prod), track usage by team member, transfer ownership when roles change, and separate billing access from development work. The system includes four distinct roles: Admin, Developer, Billing, and Viewer. This makes it easier for engineering teams, agencies, and organizations to collaborate. Read more

Google Hotels Reviews API

The newly released Google Hotels Reviews API provides comprehensive access to structured hotel review data with advanced filtering capabilities unique to Google Hotels. Unlike the Google Maps Reviews API, this new API supports Google Hotels-specific filter categories such as "Dining," "Service," "Atmosphere," and more, giving developers precise control over the types of reviews they extract. This API enables more targeted analysis of guest satisfaction across different dimensions of service. Details
