Ads | Oxylabs Documentation

The google_ads source is optimized to retrieve Google Search results page (SERP) with paid ads. This source will return only ten results per page, ensuring the highest chances of paid results showing up. Other than that, it supports the same parameters as regular Web Search.

Request samples

In this example, we make a request to google.nl to retrieve search results for the keyword adidas.

curl 'https://realtime.oxylabs.io/v1/queries' \
--user 'USERNAME:PASSWORD' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{
        "source": "google_ads",
