Support tickets, affiliate program and a better Playground

  • Support tickets: open and follow up on tickets from the new Support tab in your dashboard. We email you when we reply.
  • Affiliate program: earn 10% of everything the customers you refer pay, for as long as they stay. Create up to 3 coupon codes of your own; a customer who enters your code is yours, no link needed. Everyone who signs up with your code gets 10,000 free bonus queries once they verify their email, no payment needed, and you get 10,000 for each one who pays or becomes an active user.
  • Playground: the JSON response now opens first. The preview now shows top stories, the full knowledge panel, People Also Ask and related searches. Previous and next page buttons load the matching request.
  • Billing: each plan now shows the queries it includes, alongside its price and rate limit.
  • Price lock: your plan keeps renewing at the price you signed up at for as long as it stays active.
  • Request logs: browsing past days is much faster, including very busy days. Downloads are now JSONL only (one JSON object per line, gzipped for past days) and start straight away whatever the size of the day.

Hosted MCP server

Claude, Cursor, VS Code and other MCP clients can now use SerpWiz directly, with no code. Point them at https://api.serpwiz.com/mcp with your API key.

  • Tools: google_search, google_maps and get_account.
  • Same pricing and limits as the REST API: 1 query per successful search, failed calls free.
  • Setup: see MCP server for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor and VS Code.

Also fixed: when the search backend rejects a parameter, the API now returns its message as a 400 invalid_request, instead of a generic 502.

SerpWiz API v1: Google Search and Google Maps

The first version of the SerpWiz API is live at https://api.serpwiz.com/v1.

  • GET /v1/google/search: live Google results as JSON, including organic results, ads, top stories, the knowledge panel, People Also Ask and related searches. Costs 1 query.
  • GET /v1/google/maps: up to 20 places per request, with optional place details, reviews, images and popular times. Costs 1 query.
  • GET /v1/account: your balance, free allowance, next expiry and rate limit. Free.
  • Billing: only successful requests are charged. Failed requests and 429 responses are free. Every response includes X-Credits-Charged and X-Credits-Remaining headers.
  • Free tier: 1,000 queries a month at 1 request per second, no card needed.

See the quickstart and the OpenAPI spec.

Playground, request logs and status page

  • API Playground: build a Search or Maps request, run it live when signed in, and copy the matching cURL, Python, JavaScript or PHP code.
  • Request logs: the dashboard's new Requests tab lists every request: time, endpoint, query, status, queries charged, latency, key and IP. You can filter by status, endpoint or text and replay any request in the Playground. Logs are kept 120 days and can be downloaded as CSV or JSONL.
  • Status page: live component status, 90-day uptime and incident history, also available as JSON.
