Changelog

What changed in the API, newest first.

October 29, 2026

Async searches: add pingback_url to queue a search past the concurrency limit, and read it with GET /v1/tasks/{id}.
Organic results carry thumbnail, rating and reviews when Google shows them.
Related searches link to a plain Google search, without tracking parameters.
location is matched to Google's own place name, shown in location_used with its uule, and GET /v1/locations looks places up for free.
response_type: json, html or both.
Fewer 503 answers: expired Google sessions are skipped.

Live Google results: every request searches Google at the moment you call.
Usage is counted in credits: one credit per results page, so num_pages=3 costs three.
Google's own sites stay in the organic results.
