Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ### What does Google Search Scraper do? **Google Search Scraper** extracts organic search results from Google for any keyword — titles, URLs, snippets, and result positions — without a Google Search API key or quota limits. This Actor runs on the [Apify platform](https://apify.com). Use it for SEO research, SERP monitoring, competitor analysis, or building search-result datasets. ### Why use Google Search Scraper? - **No Google API key** — bypass Google Custom Search API's 100 queries/day free limit - **True organic results** — get the same results a real user sees - **Batch searches** — run hundreds of queries in one Actor run - **Full SERP data** — position, title, URL, snippet, and rich result indicators - **SEO research** — track rankings, find featured snippets, analyze competitor visibility ### How to use Google Search Scraper 1. Open the Actor and click **Try for free** 2. Enter search queries in the `queries` field 3. Set number of results, language, and country 4. Click **Start** — SERP data appears in the Output tab 5. Download as JSON or CSV ### Input ```json { "queries": ["best python web scraping library", "apify vs scrapy"], "maxResults": 10, "language": "en", "country": "us" } ```` | Field | Type | Description | Default | |---|---|---|---| | `queries` | array | Search keywords | required | | `maxResults` | integer | Results per query | `10` | | `language` | string | Results language code | `en` | | `country` | string | Country for localized results | `us` | ### Output ```json { "query": "best python web scraping library", "position": 1, "title": "Scrapy vs. Beautiful Soup vs. Selenium: Which Is Best?", "url": "https://example.com/scrapy-vs-beautifulsoup", "snippet": "We compare the top Python scraping libraries to help you choose...", "domain": "example.com" } ``` ### Output fields | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `query` | string | Search query | | `position` | number | Ranking position (1 = first result) | | `title` | string | Result title | | `url` | string | Result URL | | `snippet` | string | Result description snippet | | `domain` | string | Root domain of the result | ### Cost | Volume | Estimated cost | |---|---| | 100 queries × 10 results | ~$0.05–$0.50 | | 1,000 queries | ~$0.50–$5.00 | ### FAQ **Does this include ads?** The Actor returns organic results only — paid ads are excluded. **Is this Actor maintained?** Yes.
