Here's how we offer low prices on world-class quality

Most scraping APIs run on rented supply with credit-based pricing. That's why your bill is unpredictable. We chose the opposite path and the math compounds.

FAQ

One unit per successfully returned page, using a separate Google Search Light plan and quota.

No. Google Search Light has its own plan and balance, separate from the general Scraper API. Scraper API credits do not activate Google Search Light or pay for its requests.

Contact Geonode to confirm the available plan and access for your account. Google Search Light requires its own plan and quota; an existing general Scraper API plan does not activate it.

Yes. The API accepts an encoded UULE location value in your request. Plain-text location names are not accepted directly; follow the API reference for the supported UULE format.

You can request JSON, HTML, or both. Parsed results, suggestions and spelling correction are available with JSON or both. HTML-only returns the page source rather than the parsed JSON result.

Yes. Use pages to request up to 10 consecutive pages starting at page 1, or use page to select a single page from 1 to 20. Multi-page fetching stops at the first unavailable or failed page, and pages_stopped explains why it stopped. Each successfully returned page uses one unit; the accepted ranges do not guarantee that Google has that many pages of results.

Yes. The API returns the result in the same HTTP request. You do not need to poll for a job to finish.

AI Overview is optional and supported only on page 1. It may be absent without causing the search to fail. JSON or both can include a parsed overview when available; HTML can include the injected overview, but HTML-only does not return a parsed ai_overview field.

Not for Google Search Light at present. Use a plain HTTP request to POST /v1/google/search/light. SDK or MCP support for other Geonode products does not provide Google Search Light support.

No. Failed requests are not charged. If a multi-page request returns some pages before stopping, only the successfully returned pages count toward usage.
