Web Search

The google_search source is designed to retrieve Google Search results (SERPs). This sub-page specifically presents information related to Google Web Search. To explore other result types, read Image Search or News Search.

Request samples

In the samples below, we make a request to get 2 results pages, from number 11 to number 12 , for search term adidas on google.nl domain. The SERP will be filtered to contain French-language results only. API will return parsed results.

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

                "value": "fr"
            }
