Serper

Google SERP API for agents

Free tier + paidSearch, vector & RAGserper.dev

What it is

A fast, cheap Google Search results API returning structured JSON — organic results, knowledge graph, people-also-ask and related searches, plus dedicated endpoints for images, news, maps, places, videos, shopping, scholar and patents. Responses typically land in one to two seconds.

Why it earns a slot

By far the cheapest way to give an agent real Google results — at $0.30 per 1,000 it is roughly 15x cheaper per query than Brave or Exa. Prepaid credits, no monthly minimum.

Know before you commit

You get links and snippets, not page contents — pair it with a fetcher. It resells scraped Google results, so terms-of-service risk sits with you commercially.
