Google Search

Serper

Search Google and return organic results, answer boxes and related query data.

Capability: Web search
Current price: $0.0014/search
Availability: Ready to run

What this API does

Search Google through Serper for standard search results, news, places or images. Set gl to a two-letter country code and hl to a language code when the market and language matter; num accepts 1 to 100 results. The price is flat per search, so result count does not change the Scrollport charge.

Agents select this operation with tool ID serper.google-search, then inspect its current executable contract before a run.
