Collecting web search data for AI models with SERPAPI

Sponsored Content

Training and maintaining AI models requires a constant flow of high-quality, up-to-date data, especially from dynamic sources like search engines. Manually scraping results pages from Google, Bing, YouTube, or other search engines involves challenges such as captchas, rate limits, and changing HTML structures.

For developers and data scientists building AI systems, these challenges can slow innovation and detract from the real goal. Transforming data into meaningful insights.

This is the place Sirappi comes in

How AI and Data Teams Use SERPAPI

Serapi goes beyond simple search scraping by empowering developers and data teams to turn search data into intelligence. Today syrup is used in production in some ways.

• Web Search API: Get real-time data, structure from Google and other major engines. Convert raw search results to clean JSON for AI and analytics.
• AI Search Engine API: Deliver real-time search results directly into AI workflows, ideal for RAG (Retrieval Related Generation) systems.
• SEO & Local SEO: Retrieve global keyword ranking, organic and local pack data to power your SEO dashboard.
• Generative Engine Optimization (GEO): Monitor and optimize how your content appears in AI-infused responses, such as Google AI Overview and AI Mode.
• Product Research: Scrape data including prices and product ratings from Google Shopping, Amazon, eBay and other marketplaces.
• Travel Information: Get real-time flight, hotel, and travel information in Power Travel Apps.

Simplifying search data automation

SERPAPI simplifies the data extraction step Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) Process for search data. This eliminates the need for data scientists and developers to create and maintain scraps, manage proxies, or parse HTML.

Instead, users can directly extract real-time search data that has already been transformed A structured JSON formatmaking it instantly ready to load into analytics pipelines or AI model training workflows.

Here’s how easy it is to get started by submitting a gate request:

Shell

It returns a clean JSON result containing all relevant data about Google search results.

SERPAPI supports many programming languages, including Python, as well as NoCode platforms such as N8N and Google Sheets integration.

To start using SERPAPI in Python, install the official client library:

Shell

pip install google-search-results

When installing, get your own API keys Dashboard If you already have an account, or Sign up Get 250 searches per month for free.

Python

from serpapi import GoogleSearch

params = {
  "engine": "google",
  "q": "machine learning",
  "api_key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
}
search = GoogleSearch(params)
results = search.get_dict()
print(results)

Sarappi also supports one JSON restrictionwhich allows you to limit and customize the fields required in your response, making the results smaller, faster and easier to transform data to meet business needs.

Here’s how to integrate json_restrictor Analyzing live searches organic_results In the code:

Python

from serpapi import GoogleSearch
import json

params = {
  "engine": "google",
  "q": "machine learning",
  "api_key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
  "json_restrictor": "organic_results"
}

search = GoogleSearch(params)
results = search.get_dict()
json_results = json.dumps(results, indent=2)
print(json_results)

An example is in JSON format, which makes it easy to understand and follow.

JSON

"organic_results": (
    {
      "position": 1,
      "title": "Machine learning",
      "link": "
      "redirect_link": "
      "displayed_link": " \u203a wiki \u203a Machine_learning",
      "favicon": "
      "snippet": "Machine learning (ML) is a field of study in artificial intelligence concerned with the development and study of statistical algorithms that can learn from data",
      "snippet_highlighted_words": (
        "a field of study in artificial intelligence"
      ),
      "sitelinks": {
        "inline": (
          {
            "title": "Timeline",
            "link": "/wiki/Timeline_of_machine_learning"
          },
          {
            "title": "Machine Learning (journal)",
            "link": "/wiki/Machine_Learning_(journal)"
          },
          {
            "title": "Machine learning control",
            "link": "/wiki/Machine_learning_control"
          },
          {
            "title": "Active learning",
            "link": "/wiki/Active_learning_(machine_learning)"
          }
        )
      },
      "source": "Wikipedia"
    },
...
...
)

You can then parse this JSON directly in pandas or load it into a database for analytics or model training.

Pro tip: For more customized results, localize parameters like google_domainwhich specifies using the Google domain, gl To specify the country to use or hl Defining languages. For example, setting google_domain=google.esfor , for , for , . gl=esand hl=es When they appear in front of consumers in Spain, they produce results. This approach is useful for region-specific SEO tracking, multilingual data pipelines, or training localized AI models.
