Google Local Services API
Our Google Local Services API allows you to scrape local ads results from the Google Local Services search page. The API is accessed through the following endpoint: /search?engine=google_local_services. A user may query the following: https://serpapi.com/search?engine=google_local_services utilizing a GET request. Head to the playground for a live and interactive demo.
API Parameters
Geographic Location
place_id
Required
Parameter defines the Google ID of a place. To aquire the ID you can eather use Google's place ID finder, or SerpApi's Google Maps API. Example ID for "New York, NY, USA": ChIJOwg_06VPwokRYv534QaPC8g.
Localization
hl
Optional
Parameter defines the language to use for the Google Local Services search. It's a two-letter language code. (e.g., en for English, es for Spanish, or fr for French) Head to the Google languages for a full list of supported Google languages.
Serpapi Parameters
no_cache
Optional
Parameter will force SerpApi to fetch the Google Local Services results even if a cached version is already present. A cache is served only if the query and all parameters are exactly the same. Cache expires after 1h. Cached searches are free, and are not counted towards your searches per month. It can be set to false (default) to allow results from the cache, or true to disallow results from the cache. no_cache and async parameters should not be used together.
async
Optional
Parameter defines the way you want to submit your search to SerpApi. It can be set to false (default) to open an HTTP connection and keep it open until you got your search results, or true to just submit your search to SerpApi and retrieve them later. In this case, you'll need to use our Searches Archive API to retrieve your results. async and no_cache parameters should not be used together. async should not be used on accounts with Ludicrous Speed enabled.
API Results
JSON Results
JSON output includes structured data for local ads.
A search status is accessible through search_metadata.status. It flows this way: Processing -> Success || Error. If a search has failed, error will contain an error message. search_metadata.id is the search ID inside SerpApi.
HTML Results
This API does not have the HTML response, just a text. search_metadata.prettify_html_file contains prettified version of the result. It is displayed in the playground.
