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

⭐️ Top Updates

Our engineers delivered major improvements to the Google Trends API by significantly stabilizing request performance and reducing response times. Success rates, which had shown noticeable fluctuation before, are now consistently high, and response times have dropped to a steady and predictable level. These enhancements provide a more reliable and faster experience for users who depend on Google Trends data in production workflows.
