Basic Introduction

The Search API endpoint: https://seo-api.p.rapidapi.com/v1/search/{query
For search the minimum query must have the q parameter. The best module to encode the query parameters is urllib.

The News API endpoint : https://seo-api.p.rapidapi.com/v1/news/{query

This tutorial will be using Python3.5.

Simple Search

This example is a simple search for the keyword “president election”. The query should be properly url encoded. So the query will end up being q=president+election

python script:

import urllib
import requests

headers = {
    "x-rapidapi-key": "YOUR_API_KEY",
    "x-rapidapi-host" :"seo-api.p.rapidapi.com"
}

query = {
    "q": "president election"
}

resp = requests.get("https://seo-api.p.rapidapi.com/v1/search/" + urllib.parse.urlencode(query), headers=headers)

results = resp.json()
print(results)

Mobile Simple Search

Google’s mobile and desktop are governed by different Google Algorithms. Your pages will rank differently on mobile vs. desktop search results. So it is important when performing SEO and SERP analysis it is recommend to check both mobile and desktop results. That way you’ll know what to optimize for.

By default the Google Search API searches for desktop results. To switch to mobile results you’ll need to set the x-user-agent header to mobile.

Python script to return the top 75 results:

import urllib
import requests

headers = {
	"x-rapidapi-key": "YOUR_API_KEY",
	"x-rapidapi-host" :"seo-api.p.rapidapi.com",
	"x-user-agent" : "mobile"
}

query = {
    "q": "president election",
    "num": 75
}

resp = requests.get("https://seo-api.p.rapidapi.com/v1/search/" + urllib.parse.urlencode(query), headers=headers)

results = resp.json()
print(results)

OpenAPI V3
