### [**New Status Page**](https://status.serpapi.com/)

We've launched a [Status Page](https://status.serpapi.com/) for real-time service updates. If there's ever API downtime, service disruptions, or performance degradation, this is where you'll find the latest information. You can subscribe to notifications via email, SMS, Slack, or Microsoft Teams, and customize which APIs you want to monitor. We'll continue using the [Public Roadmap](https://github.com/serpapi/public-roadmap) for tracking minor bugs and feature requests.

### [**Naver AI Overview API**](https://serpapi.com/naver-ai-overview-api)

We've released the Naver AI Overview API, which extracts structured AI-generated responses directly from Naver's search results, South Korea's leading search engine. It returns comprehensive AI overview content, including text blocks, media items, reference sources, and related questions. Each response includes metadata about the AI-generated content, source citations with thumbnails and links, and suggested follow-up questions for deeper exploration.
