Google Search API

Search Google web, news, maps, trends, shopping, scholar, finance, hotel, and media surfaces through Just Serp API.

Google SERP

Use this skill for Google SERP research, search result collection, competitive intelligence, trend monitoring, local business lookups, and shopping or scholar analysis. It is the broad Google-facing skill for tasks that start from a keyword, a place, a domain, or a topic and need structured Google result data.

When To Use It

• The user wants Google web search, news search, image search, video search, or mobile SERP output for a keyword.
• The task is about Google Maps, Local, Shopping, Trends, Scholar, Finance, Hotels, Lens, Jobs, or AI result surfaces.
• The user can provide filters such as query, country, language, domain, page, geo, or a Google Maps place identifier.
• The user needs API-backed Google result data for research, monitoring, ranking checks, or reporting instead of a freeform answer.

Representative Operations

• search: Search SERP — Pull standard Google web results for keyword research and ranking checks.
• mapsSearch: Maps Search — Find Google Maps business results and local pack data for a query and location.
• TrendsSearch: Trends Search — Inspect time-series search interest and related trend signals.
• ScholarSearch: Scholar Search — Query academic search results and citation-oriented records.
• shoppingSearch: Shopping Search — Collect product listings, merchants, and pricing signals from Google Shopping.

Request Pattern

• 31 read-only GET operations are available in this skill.
• Common inputs are query, country, domain, language, geo, page, html, and feature-specific identifiers.
• Most operations are query-only; none require a request body.
• Prefer the narrowest Google vertical that matches the task instead of using generic search for everything.

How To Work

1. Read generated/operations.md before choosing an endpoint.
2. Start with one of these operations when it matches the user's request: search, mapsSearch, TrendsSearch, ScholarSearch, shoppingSearch.
3. Pick the smallest matching operation instead of guessing.
4. Ask the user for any missing required parameter. Do not invent values.
5. Call the helper with:

bash

node {baseDir}/bin/run.mjs --operation "<operation-id>" --api-key "$JUST_SERP_API_KEY" --params-json '{"key":"value"}'

Environment

• Required: JUST_SERP_API_KEY
• This skill uses JUST_SERP_API_KEY only for authenticated Just Serp API requests.
• Keep JUST_SERP_API_KEY private. Do not paste it into chat messages, screenshots, or logs.
• Project site: Just Serp API.
• Authentication details: Just Serp API Docs.

Output Rules

• Lead with the Google surface you used and the exact query or filters applied.
• For SERP-style responses, summarize the top result patterns before raw JSON.
• For Maps, Shopping, Scholar, or Trends requests, highlight the entity, metric, or ranking signals most relevant to the user's decision.
• If multiple Google verticals could answer the task, explain why the chosen endpoint was the best fit.
• If the backend errors, include the backend payload and the exact operation ID.
