With Web Scraper API, you can scrape and parse various types of Google pages; below is an overview of all supported scrapers and their respective source values.

Source	Description	Dedicated parser
google_search	SERPs. (Web, Image, News, AI Overviews)	Yes.
google_ads	SERPs, optimized for maximum ad rate. num=10 only.	Yes.
google_ai_mode	Google AI Mode conversational responses.	Yes.
google_lens	Google Lens service.	Yes.
google_maps	Local search service.	No.
google_trends_explore	Trends.	No.
google_suggest	Autocomplete search term suggestions.	No.
google_travel_hotels	Travel: Hotels service.	No.
google_shopping_product	Product page of a product ID of your choice.	Yes.
google_shopping_search	Search results for a search term of your choice.	Yes.
google_shopping_pricing	List of offers available for a product ID of your choice.	Yes.
google	Submit any Google URL you like.	Limited to URLs of specific Google page types.

Although we do not have dedicated parsers for each Google source, you can write your own parsing instructions with Custom Parser feature and get structured data.

We use synchronous Realtime integration method in our examples. If you would like to use Proxy Endpoint or asynchronous Push-Pull integration, refer to the integration methods section.

Optionally, you can include additional parameters such as geo_location, user_agent_type, parse, render and more to customize your scraping request. Read more:
