Getting Started
Extract large amounts of data with our scalable data extraction API. Whether you need to scrape search engine results or want to collect data in bulk from LinkedIn, we have already covered you.
All REST API calls will return
JSON or HTML results.Our API endpoint is:
https://api.serpdog.io/Our API is easy to use and is designed to be used by developers.
Here are a few things to consider before we get started:
- The request will be retried until it can be completed (up to 60 seconds). In cases where the request fails in 60 seconds, we will return a 502 error, you will not be charged for the unsuccessful API call(you are only charged for successful requests, 200 status code). Make sure to catch these errors! They will occur on roughly 1-2% of requests.
- If you exceed 1000 requests per month on your free plan, you will receive a 403 error.
- Each request will return an HTML response or object of arrays with the requested data.
- The Google Credits will be counted based on the number of organic search results on the page. If they are 10 then the credit cost will be 20. If they are 20, then the credit cost will be 40, and so on.
Handling the HTTP response status codes below is advisable for a smooth scraping experience.
Error Codes | Description |

200 | Request Successfull |
404 | User not found or enter a valid query |
