Google SERP API with a recurring free plan, a batch endpoint and AI Overview extraction, built by APILayer.
Chandan KumarLast updated October 8, 2026
Zenserp is a SERP API from APILayer that returns live Google results as JSON. It covers Google web search with organic and paid results, videos, local results, knowledge graph, People Also Ask, answer boxes and maps, plus Google Images, News, Shopping, Trends, reverse image search and YouTube.
Bing, Yandex and DuckDuckGo are available on paid plans, along with Hotels, Flights and Jobs endpoints. An AI Overview endpoint returns the AI answer as structured text blocks with reference indexes and cited sources.
There are no packaged SDKs; any HTTP client works. An asynchronous batch endpoint accepts a list of jobs and delivers results to a webhook, and is included from the Medium plan upward. It also offer Markdown output, and Medium and above add keyword volume and CPC data.
The free plan only gives Google search with 50 searches, no batch endpoint below Medium, no MCP server, and AI Overview requests consuming 3 searches each.
