SerpApi Weekly Changelog: October 20–26, 2025
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
Google Images Light API
Our engineers delivered major improvements to the Google Images Light API, achieving approximately a 40% boost in response time and significantly increasing overall stability. These enhancements ensure faster, more reliable results, providing a smoother experience for users who rely on this API for high-performance image scraping.
Google Ask AI Mode API (NEW API)
We released a new Google Ask AI Mode API, which provides structured access to Google’s experimental AI Mode results. This API captures the AI-generated question cards—such as product comparisons, local activities, and how-to queries—directly from Google Search. With it, developers can now programmatically retrieve these AI-driven suggestions, complete with links, images, and structured metadata. Details
