# Searlo

> Searlo delivers live search results as clean JSON: web, news, maps, shopping, full results pages and AI answers, with one API key and one credit pool, from $3.99. The search endpoints return Google results (web, images, news, videos, shopping, maps, places, reviews, Scholar, Patents) and the full results page with ads, People Also Ask, related searches, the knowledge graph and the AI Overview. The AI answer endpoints return the answers and cited sources of ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot and Gemini for AI-visibility tracking. Also: rank checks, web data (scrape, crawl, map, extract), email verification and an MCP server for AI assistants. Output is JSON or token-efficient TOON. Pricing starts at $0.30 per 1,000 credits with 3,000 free credits and no credit card required.

## Key facts
- Product: live search results as clean JSON: Google results pages, plus AI answers from ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot and Gemini
- Endpoints: GET /search/web, GET /search/images, GET /customsearch/v1, GET /search/news, GET /search/videos, GET /search/shopping, GET /search/site, GET /search/advanced, GET /search/maps, GET /search/places, GET /search/reviews, GET /search/scholar, GET /search/patents, GET /search/webpage, POST /scrape, POST /scrape/batch, POST /map, POST /crawl, POST /extract, POST /search-and-scrape, POST /search/batch, GET /serp, GET /serp/html, POST /serp/batch, GET /serp/features, POST /rankings/check, GET /search/ai/{engine}, GET /search/suggestions, GET /search/countries, GET /search/capabilities, GET /credit/balance, POST /async/task, POST /email-verifier/verify, GET /mcp/info
- Credits per call: 1 for most search endpoints; 3 per page for the full SERP (/serp); 3 per 10 results of depth for /rankings/check; AI answers 4 (Gemini), 8 (ChatGPT, Copilot); 5 per email verification; 0.5 for autocomplete; web data (scrape, webpage, extract, search-and-scrape, crawl, batch scrape) 1 per page
- From 2026-11-01: a full-SERP page (/serp, /serp/batch, async serp) whose AI Overview had to be completed by rendering the page costs 8 credits instead of 3 (the response says aioverview.rendered: true; aioverview=false stays 3); a web-data page that had to be rendered costs 5 instead of 1 (the response says via: "browser"). /serp/features stays 3, /serp/html stays 2 (8 with js=true), /map stays 1
- Accounts that have never bought credits can call every endpoint on their sign-up credits, without automatic rendering for web data (render: true still works) and without live-results top-up on thin web searches; both switch on with the first purchase. Until then the link resolver for Google /goto redirects takes at most 30 links a minute
- Pricing may change during November–December 2026: What it costs us to serve some requests changes at the turn of the year, so we may adjust prices during November and December 2026. Any change is announced in advance on the changelog and by email. Credits you have already bought keep working, and packs stay valid for 12 months from purchase.
- AI answers are generated live for each request (typically 10-30 s) and are non-deterministic; Searlo is independent and not affiliated with OpenAI, Microsoft or Google
- Trademarks: Not affiliated with or endorsed by Google LLC or any other search engine. All trademarks belong to their owners.
- Currently unavailable: the domain SEO endpoints (/domain/*), Google Lens, Google AI Mode, Perplexity answers (paused since 2026-10-03), screenshots and PDF rendering, and city- or state-level location
- Location: country (gl) and language (hl) on every Google endpoint; location also takes a country. A city or state returns 400 CITY_LOCATION_UNAVAILABLE and is not charged
- SERP HTML (/serp/html): Google's results page as served (2 credits, about 3 s) or rendered with the AI Overview opened out (js=true, 8 credits, about 9 s), desktop or iOS, as JSON or raw text/html
- Errors: JSON with a stable code (e.g. AT_CAPACITY, UPSTREAM_UNAVAILABLE, CITY_LOCATION_UNAVAILABLE); failed calls are refunded; 429s carry Retry-After; rate-limit headers X-RateLimit-Limit-{Second,Minute,Hour,Day}
- Auth: `x-api-key` request header; base URL `https://api.searlo.tech/api/v1`
- Google Custom Search JSON API drop-in: `GET https://api.searlo.tech/customsearch/v1` (also /customsearch/v1/siterestrict) takes Custom Search's parameters and answers in its JSON and error format, so code moves by changing the host and the key (Searlo key in `key`, `x-api-key` or Bearer). cx is accepted with no effect: results come from the whole web; restrict with siteSearch. 1 credit per call. Google discontinues its API on January 1, 2027. Migration guides (Python, Node.js, PHP, LangChain, Open WebUI, n8n, WordPress): https://searlo.tech/google-custom-search-api-migration
- Output formats: JSON, TOON (token-optimised, ~63% fewer tokens), enhanced
- AI integration: MCP server (Model Context Protocol), LangChain, RAG and agent workflows
- Pricing: Micro 5,000 credits $3.99 ($0.80/1K); Starter 20,000 credits $9.99 ($0.50/1K); Builder 75,000 credits $29.99 ($0.40/1K); Scale 250,000 credits $74.99 ($0.30/1K); Pro 900,000 credits $199.99 ($0.22/1K); Growth 1,800,000 credits $399 ($0.22/1K); Enterprise 4,000,000 credits $799 ($0.20/1K)
