Examples

Search API capability

use ZanySoft\LaravelSerpApi\Facades\SerpApi;

$client = SerpApi::GoogleSearch();

$query = [
  "q" =>  "query",
  "google_domain" =>  "Google Domain", 
  "location" =>  "Location Requested", 
  "device" =>  "device",
  "hl" =>  "Google UI Language",

  "tbm" => "nws|isch|shop"
  "tbs" => "custom to be search criteria"
  "async" => true|false # allow async 
];

$html_results = $client->get_html($query);
$json_results = $client->get_json($query);

Location API

use ZanySoft\LaravelSerpApi\Facades\SerpApi;

$client = SerpApi::GoogleSearch();

$location_list = $client->get_location('Austin', 3);
print_r($location_list);

it prints the first 3 location matching Austin (Texas, Texas, Rochester)

[{:id=>"585069bdee19ad271e9bc072",
  :google_id=>200635,
  :google_parent_id=>21176,
  :name=>"Austin, TX",
  :canonical_name=>"Austin,TX,Texas,United States",
  :country_code=>"US",
  :target_type=>"DMA Region",
  :reach=>5560000,
  :gps=>[-97.7430608, 30.267153],
  :keys=>["austin", "tx", "texas", "united", "states"]},
  ...]

Account API

use ZanySoft\LaravelSerpApi\Facades\SerpApi;

$client = SerpApi::GoogleSearch();

$info = $client->get_account();
print_r($info);

it prints your account information.

Search Google Images

use ZanySoft\LaravelSerpApi\Facades\SerpApi;

$client = SerpApi::GoogleSearch();
$data = $client->get_json([
  'q' => "Coffee", 
  'tbm' => 'isch'
]);

foreach($data->images_results as $image_result) {
  print_r($image_result->original);
}

this code prints all the images links

Conclusion

SerpApi supports all the major search engines. Google has the more advance support with all the major services available: Images, News, Shopping and more.. To enable a type of search, the field tbm (to be matched) must be set to:

• isch: Google Images API.
• nws: Google News API.
• shop: Google Shopping API.
• any other Google service should work out of the box.
• (no tbm parameter): regular Google search. The field tbs allows to customize the search even more.
