· THREE REAL RESPONSES, PULLED LIVE 2026-09-05 ·
The problem

Rank data gets old by lunch

Rankings move all day. Google’s own search API caps at 10 results a call and shuts down on January 1, 2027. Rank trackers, agents and research tools need the page as it is right now.

FAQ

Common questions

A SERP API returns the Google results page for a query as data: the organic links with their positions, the answer box, people also ask and related searches. You send the query, you get the page. Rank trackers, research tools and AI agents run on it.

Google’s Custom Search API returns ten results a call, is built for a site search box, and shuts down on January 1, 2027. This reads the public results page anyone sees, returns the whole first page, and keeps working.

The whole first page, usually 8 to 10 organic results plus the answer box, people also ask and related searches. Ask for page 2 for more.

1-2 seconds on most days, measured on customer calls through crustapi.com over the two weeks before this page was built. A busy hour can push a search past 2 seconds.

$1.00 for every 1,000 searches, with lower rates for larger individual deposits. A search that returns nothing costs nothing. $6 free every month, no card.

We read the public results page Google shows anyone, logged out, and never use accounts or captcha tricks. Public, logged-out collection has repeatedly defeated computer-fraud and contract claims. Check your own use case. We are not lawyers.
