OpenSERP
OpenSERP Cloud is a managed SERP API that provides structured JSON results from multiple search engines including Google, Bing, Yandex, Baidu, DuckDuckGo, and Ecosia. It eliminates the need for users to run their own scraping infrastructure, handling browser automation, multi-engine parsing, and retries automatically. The service is built on the open-source OpenSERP engine, ensuring the same coverage and data quality without operational overhead. Users can perform single-engine searches, image searches, or a unique 'megasearch' that queries all supported engines at once. This multi-engine capability is especially valuable for SEO rank tracking, where seeing positions across different engines is critical, and for AI pipelines that need to verify sources by consensus to reduce hallucinations. The API returns clean, structured JSON with detailed result metadata, pagination support, and error handling. OpenSERP Cloud offers a free tier with credits to start, and a pay-as-you-go model at $0.009 per 10 returned web results. There are no subscriptions, minimums, or expiration of credits, and errors are not charged. SDKs are available for Node.js (NPM), Python (PyPI), and integrations for MCP servers and n8n workflows, making it easy to embed into applications and automation.
