About Google Search Scraper For Live App
Need Google search results in a flash? This scraper is built for one thing: speed. It's a stripped-down, no-frills version of a full Google Search Scraper, engineered specifically for situations where getting data in under five seconds is more important than having every single advanced feature. Think of it like a race car versus a daily driver—it's incredibly fast on a straight track but not built for heavy customization. I use it when I'm testing SEO changes and need immediate feedback on rankings, or when I'm building a live dashboard that requires near-instant search result updates. It bypasses a lot of the processing that makes larger scrapers more flexible, which is why it's so quick. Just be aware that this focus on raw speed means it might not handle every complex search query perfectly, and you should have a fallback option for critical, mission-critical data collection. If your project absolutely demands the fastest possible response from Google and you can work within its focused parameters, this is the tool for the job.

Documentation
Google Search Scraper for Live App
Overview
This actor is a fast, server-like version of the Google Search Results Scraper, optimized for sub-5-second response times. It runs continuously as a live server, making it suitable for applications requiring real-time search data. For most other use cases, the standard Google Search Scraper is recommended.
Key Features
- Fast Response: Average response time is around 4 seconds.
- Live Server: Runs continuously, allowing you to send requests to its container URL.
- Simple Integration: Use via HTTP requests with query parameters.
Trade-offs:
* Consumes compute units while running.
* Uses Residential proxies by default (more expensive than dedicated SERP proxies).
* Offers fewer configuration settings than the main scraper.
How to Use
- Start the Actor: Launch the actor. 512 MB or 1 GB of memory is typically sufficient. Increase memory for higher loads.
- Get the Container URL: Once running, note its Container URL (e.g.,
https://0zxzjbqdzxvu.runs.apify.net). Find this on the run page or in the logs. - Send Requests: Use the Container URL as your API endpoint, appending query parameters.
- Stop When Done: Remember to abort the actor run when you no longer need it to stop resource consumption. You can restart it later to resume using the same URL.
Input/Output
Send HTTP GET requests to your actor's Container URL with the following query parameters:
Query Parameters:
* q (Required): The search query (e.g., q=hotels+new+york).
* num: Number of organic results to return. Default is 10, maximum is 100.
* proxyGroup: Apify proxy group to use.
* RESIDENTIAL (Default): More reliable, used for consistent speed.
* GOOGLE_SERP: Dedicated proxy, but speed varies (2-10 seconds).
* Datacenter proxies are fastest but often blocked by Google.
* saveHtml: Set to true to include the full HTML of the search results page in the output. Default is false.
* saveHtmlToKeyValueStore: Set to true to save the full HTML to the default key-value store for easy debugging. You can then open the stored URL in a browser.
Example Request:
https://0zxzjbqdzxvu.runs.apify.net/?q=hotels+new+york&num=20&proxyGroup=RESIDENTIAL
Output:
The actor returns parsed Google search results (organic results, ads, etc.) in a structured JSON format, consistent with the main Google Search Results Scraper. If enabled via saveHtml, the raw HTML is also included.
