Social Media

YouTube & Instagram APIs

Access structured YouTube and Instagram data through the same authenticated API platform.

Technical

Built for Developers

Clean REST API with structured JSON responses, automatic error handling, and flexible configuration options.

Structured JSON API

All endpoints return clean, structured JSON. Consistent response format across all search engines with searchParameters, organic results, and metadata.

Automatic Refunds

Failed requests with server errors are automatically refunded. Valid empty results remain successful billable calls.

Balance-Scaled Limits

Rate limits scale with your live credit balance — from 1 concurrent / 10 per min on the free tier, rising to 100 → unlimited concurrent at a $500+ balance, with per-minute, per-hour and per-day allocations. Published figures are standard "up to" allocations that scale toward unlimited; higher custom limits are provided on request. Higher balances also get priority queuing for faster processing under load.

Multi-Page Search

Request up to 100 results per query with the num parameter. Serpent API automatically paginates and combines results from multiple search engine pages.

API Key Authentication

Secure API key auth via the X-API-Key header. Generate and manage keys from your dashboard. New accounts get 10 free Google SERP searches to try the API.

Format Options

Choose between full response (all SERP features, metadata, credits info) or simple format for lightweight integrations. Control response verbosity per request.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Serpent API supports four search engines: Google, Bing, Yahoo, and DuckDuckGo. Each engine provides web, news, image, and video search. Google also supports AI Overviews, Featured Snippets, and People Also Ask data. All four engines support 112 country codes via the country parameter. You can choose any engine per request using the engine parameter.
AI Ranking lets you track how AI models like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity mention and cite your brand or website. The API queries each AI model with your search term and returns citation URLs, visibility scores, and mention positions. You can query individual models or all four at once with a single API call using the AI All endpoint.
Serpent API provides YouTube and Instagram APIs. YouTube supports search, video details, channel details, and playlist data via the official YouTube Data API v3. Instagram provides profile scraping including follower count, post count, bio, profile picture, and recent posts. YouTube API calls start from $0.11/1K on the Scale tier.
Use the num parameter to request up to 100 results per query. Serpent API automatically handles pagination behind the scenes, fetching multiple pages from the search engine and combining results into a single JSON response. This works across all four search engines for web search. Each page fetch counts as part of the same API call.
Serpent API automatically refunds credits for failed requests with server errors. Valid empty results are successful billable calls because the request completed normally.
