Getting local data

Accessing localized SERP data is often critical. Two searches performed from different countries or even cities can yield vastly different results. Searches that return business listings, for example, may vary widely according to the businesses close to the search location. Searches from different countries often return results in their local languages, which affects both the contents and ordering of the SERP.

Nimble's SERP Scraping API offers several methods for targeting and accessing data that is localized to a particular geolocation, including:

Proxy location
Google custom location
Search locale
Top-level domains

Proxy location

Use the country parameter to set the geographic location of your desired proxy. Nimble SERP API comes with built-in premium proxy services, and every request is processed through our premium proxies. The country parameter accepts ISO Alpha-2 Country Codes, such as US, DE, GB.

}

  .then(response => {

    console.log(response.data);
  })
  .catch(error => {

	fmt.Println(resp.StatusCode)
	// Read the response body if needed
	// body, err := ioutil.ReadAll(resp.Body)
	// fmt.Println(string(body))
}

Google custom location

Google allows users to perform searches through a location other than their own. This option is currently not available with other search engines, and is independent of any other location settings. To set a custom search location, use the location parameter, which accepts either Google's "canonical names", or a free text location string.

curl -X POST 'https://api.webit.live/api/v1/realtime/serp' \
--header 'Authorization: Basic <credential string>' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
    "query": "hello world",
    "search_engine": "google_search",
    "country": "US",
    "location": "London,Ohio,United States",
    "parse": true
}'

import requests

url = 'https://api.webit.live/api/v1/realtime/serp'
headers = {
    'Authorization': 'Basic <credential string>',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}
data = {
    "query": "hello world",
    "search_engine": "google_search",
    "country": "US",
    "location": "London,Ohio,United States",
    "parse": True
}

response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=data)

print(response.status_code)
print(response.json())

const axios = require('axios');

const url = 'https://api.webit.live/api/v1/realtime/serp';

  .then(response => {
    console.log(response.status);
    console.log(response.data);
  })
  .catch(error => {
    console.error(error);
  });

package main

	fmt.Println(resp.StatusCode)
	// Read the response body if needed
	// body, err := ioutil.ReadAll(resp.Body)
	// fmt.Println(string(body))
}

Search locale

Use the locale parameter to control the locale passed to the search engine. This parameter accepts an LCID standard locale, such as "en", "fr", "de", etc.

curl -X POST 'https://api.webit.live/api/v1/realtime/serp' \
--header 'Authorization: Basic <credential string>' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
    "query": "hello world",
    "search_engine": "google_search",
    "country": "US",
    "location": "London,Ohio,United States",
    "locale": "en",
    "parse": true
}'

import requests

url = 'https://api.webit.live/api/v1/realtime/serp'
headers = {
    'Authorization': 'Basic <credential string>',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}
data = {
    "query": "hello world",
    "search_engine": "google_search",
    "country": "US",
    "location": "London,Ohio,United States",
    "locale": "en",
    "parse": True
}

response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=data)

print(response.status_code)
print(response.json())

const axios = require('axios');

const url = 'https://api.webit.live/api/v1/realtime/serp';
const headers = {
  'Authorization': 'Basic <credential string>',
  'Content-Type': 'application/json'
};
const data = {
  "query": "hello world",
  "search_engine": "google_search",
  "country": "US",
  "location": "London,Ohio,United States",
  "locale": "en",
  "parse": true
};

axios.post(url, data, { headers })
  .then(response => {
    console.log(response.status);
    console.log(response.data);
  })
  .catch(error => {
    console.error(error);
  });

package main

import (
	"bytes"
	"fmt"
	"net/http"
	"encoding/json"
)

func main() {
	url := "https://api.webit.live/api/v1/realtime/serp"
	payload := []byte(`{

  		"search_engine": "google_search",
 		"country": "US",
  		"location": "London,Ohio,United States",
   		"locale": "en",

	req, err := http.NewRequest("POST", url, bytes.NewBuffer(payload))
	if err != nil {

	}

	for key, value := range headers {

	}

	client := &http.Client{}
	resp, err := client.Do(req)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println(err)
		return
	}
	defer resp.Body.Close()

	fmt.Println(resp.StatusCode)
	// Read the response body if needed
	// body, err := ioutil.ReadAll(resp.Body)
	// fmt.Println(string(body))
}

Top-level domains

A top-level domain refers to the portion of a URL that comes immediately after the domain name, such as ".com", ".org", "co.uk", etc. The domain parameter enables users to perform searches on a particular top-level domain variant of Google, such as "google.co.uk". This feature is currently only compatible with Google. This parameter accepts only the top-level domain portion, such as "co.uk".

curl -X POST 'https://api.webit.live/api/v1/realtime/serp' \
--header 'Authorization: Basic <credential string>' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
    "query": "hello world",
    "search_engine": "google_search",
    "country": "GB",
    "domain": "co.uk",
    "parse": true

    "search_engine": "google_search",
    "country": "GB",
    "domain": "co.uk",
    "parse": True
}

response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=data)
