SerpApi

Use the SerpApi REST API (via WebFetch) to retrieve structured search results from Google, Google Shopping, Google Jobs, eBay, and Amazon.

Base endpoint: https://serpapi.com/search Authentication: Pass api_key as a query parameter on every request.

Engines

Engine	`engine` value	Reference
Google Search	`google`	references/google-search-api.md
Google Shopping	`google_shopping`	references/google-shopping-api.md
Google Jobs	`google_jobs`	references/google-jobs-api.md
Google Immersive Product	`google_immersive_product`	references/google-immersive-product-api.md

Amazon Product	`amazon_product`	references/amazon-product-api.md

Read the relevant reference file before constructing any request.

Key Patterns

Chaining APIs

Google Shopping → Immersive Product: A shopping_results item's immersive_product_page_token is the page_token for google_immersive_product.
Amazon search → Product detail: A organic_results item's serpapi_link links directly to amazon_product for full product details, or use the asin manually.

Filters from responses

Google Shopping: shoprs tokens for category-specific filters (brand, colour, size, etc.) come from filters[].options[].shoprs or carousel_filters[].shoprs in the response — never construct them manually.
Google Jobs: uds filter tokens come from filters in the response. chips and ltype are deprecated; use uds instead.
Google Jobs pagination: start is discontinued — use next_page_token from serpapi_pagination.

Presenting results

Always show prices with currency and extracted_price for computation.
For job listings: show title, company_name, location, via, and key detected_extensions fields (schedule type, remote, salary).
For product results: show title, price, rating, reviews, and source/seller.
For eBay: distinguish sponsored listings clearly.
