The cost of DataForSEO SERP API varies based on the method and priority of a set task. In addition to that, SERP API incorporates a few optional parameters that can also impact the final cost of data.
Base Price
One SERP (search engine results page) of Google Organic SERP API contains 10 search engine results
The base price of one SERP with 10 search engine results obtained through Google Organic SERP API varies based on the method and priority that correspond to the speed of task execution. The faster you want to get the results, the higher the price of the task will be.
The Live method features an accelerated turnaround time (up to 6 seconds) and provides for real-time results, whereas the Standard method is based on the queue and includes two priorities: normal (up to 5 minutes) and high (up to 1 minute).
Price Calculation
Price calculation for Google Organic SERP API is based on the number of requested SERPs (with 10 search results each), rather than search results’ depth. The 1st SERP costs the full base rate ($0.0006 for Standard Queue, $0.0012 for Priority Queue, and $0.002 for Live Mode), while the batch of the next 10 SERPs (100 search results) cost 75% of the base rate.
Thus, the price of 110 search engine results obtained with a single API task costs $0.00105 for Standard Queue, $0.0021 for Priority queue, and $0.0035 for Live Mode.
This tiered pricing reflects that the first page contains most of the resource-intensive SERP elements like featured snippets and ads, while subsequent pages require fewer processing resources.
Additional parameters
Google Organic SERP API features a set of parameters that can increase the cost of setting a task. The cost of a task is multiplied for using each of these parameters. Note that the final price can contain multiple multipliers.
| Parameter | Cost multiplier |
| ‘allinanchor:’, ‘allintext:’, ‘allintitle:’, ‘allinurl:’, ‘define:’, ‘filetype:’, ‘id:’, ‘inanchor:’, ‘info:’, ‘intext:’, ‘intitle:’, ‘inurl:’, ‘link:’, ‘site:’, ‘-site:’ | Multiply by 5 for each parameter used |
| “calculate_rectangles” | Add one base price |
| “depth” | Multiply for each 110 search engine results |
| “max_crawl_pages” | Multiply for each SERP (10 search engine results) | “load_async_overview” | Add one base price |
