Google has filed a lawsuit accusing SerpApi of scraping Google Search results at a massive scale and reselling that data through a paid API. The case puts a spotlight on how search data is collected, who controls access to it, and what limits apply to third-party SEO tools.<\/b><\/p>\n

Latest Update<\/i><\/b>: SerpApi says it has not been served with Google\u2019s complaint and was not contacted before the lawsuit was filed. The company says it provides access only to publicly visible search data and plans to defend its business model in court.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Google has taken <\/span>legal action against SerpApi<\/span><\/a>, alleging the company built its business by systematically extracting Google Search results in violation of Google\u2019s rules and security systems.<\/span><\/p>\n

In its <\/span>filing<\/span><\/a>, Google says SerpApi sends hundreds of millions of automated queries to Google every day. These requests are designed to resemble normal user searches, allowing them to slip past protections such as CAPTCHAs and bot-detection systems. According to Google, this access is then packaged and sold to customers as a \u201cGoogle Search API.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Google disputes that description, saying it does not offer a public API that provides this kind of search result data.<\/span><\/p>\n
