Serpex.dev
FreemiumThe Fast, Affordable Search API for AI Data Projects
About Serpex.dev
Serpex.dev offers a REST API/SDKs for real-time, structured Search data, providing LLMs and SaaS apps live search insights without the complexities of web scraping. It is a fast, affordable search API designed for AI and data projects, unifying real-time web search by routing queries across multiple search engines like Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Brave, Yahoo, and Yandex. Serpex handles common issues such as blocking, CAPTCHAs, and IP bans, delivering structured JSON data for easy integration.
How to Use
To use Serpex, developers can integrate its REST API or SDKs (available for JavaScript, Python, cURL) into their applications. Users make API calls by specifying parameters such as the query (q), desired search engine (or 'auto' for routing), category, and time range. Serpex then processes the query, handles any blocking or CAPTCHAs, and returns structured JSON search results. An interactive playground is available for testing queries and managing API keys.
