Year’s Highlights
AI Search & LLM Visibility
As AI continued to reshape search, we released new solutions to help you monitor and analyze its impact.
➤ Multiple new AI feature formats in our SERP API: Google’s AI Overviews, shopping recommendations from AIO, Google’s AI Mode results, Bing Copilot Search, Yahoo AI Summary, and more.
➤ AI Optimization API suite, which includes your most requested features:
➤ ChatGPT LLM Scraper API — collects AI model responses, fan out queries, and brand entities at scale.
➤ LLM Mentions API — tracks how often brands, products, or competitors are referenced by large language models.
SERP API Reliability & Cost Control
Despite unexpected search engine updates, our SERP API remained fully operational throughout 2025. We also introduced:
➤ Automatic Crawl Stop on Match with extensive control parameters, allowing you to stop crawling as soon as your target domain or URL is found.
➤ Practical guidance on reducing SERP tracking costs without sacrificing quality.
No-Code Access & Automation
To make it easier to access DataForSEO from your everyday no-code workflows and favorite automation tools, we expanded our integration library:
➤ DataForSEO MCP Server for native AI-agent access (e.g., Claude)
➤ Custom GPT by DataForSEO for natural-language interaction with our APIs
➤ n8n Community Node
➤ Dozens of new Make modules
➤ Pabbly and Lindy AI integrations
Documentation & Developer Experience
➤ Our documentation got a complete refresh in 2025, with a new design, improved navigation, and more interactive code examples.
➤ We also rolled out AI-optimized API responses, making outputs easier to use in LLM-powered applications.
