Google Local Pack API
For some requests, Google search includes local results, called local pack, and a local map. SerpApi is able to scrape, extract, and make sense of this information.
When SerpApi encounters a local map and/or local results, we add them to our JSON output. From the local_map, we are able to extract link, gps_coordinates, image and streetview information. From the local_results, we are able to extract position title, reviews, price, type, address, description, hours, extensions, thumbnail, gps_coordinates, place_id, lsig and more.
The API endpoint is https://serpapi.com/search?engine=google
Head to the playground for a live and interactive demo.
Deprecation notice: lsig
Google no longer returns the lsig field for desktop results. It is still returned when device is set to mobile or tablet.
