Google Light Organic Results API

Google search main results are called organic results. Some results are simple and straightforward. Others include rich data like reviews, thumbnails, and other special snippets. SerpApi is able to scrape, extract, and make sense of both simple and more complex organic results.

When SerpApi encounters organic results, we add them to our JSON output as the array organic_results.

For each organic result, we are able to extract its position, title, link, redirect_link, displayed_link, thumbnail, date, snippet, sitelinks.inline, sitelinks.list, extensions, reviews, ratings, and more.
