Define the scope
Write down whether you need broad discovery, a specific engine’s results, or performance for an owned property.
Search Engine API / Discover
The right search data.
A clearer starting point.
Explore how a search engine API turns discovery into structured data—and choose the source that fits the question your application needs to answer.
Search is a data decision before it is an integration decision.
A web search index helps you discover relevant destinations. A SERP service observes a particular results context. First-party analytics describes activity for a property you are authorized to inspect. Keep those purposes separate, then combine evidence deliberately when your workflow needs more than one perspective.
Shape the contract
Preserve the query, requested context, source identifier, observation time, and required result fields.
Test before scaling
Evaluate representative questions and failure cases against your own acceptance criteria.
The examples are local, illustrative data. They do not issue searches or expose a live API endpoint.
KEEP EXPLORING
Connect the next part of your workflow.
