Serper provides real-time Google search results, place data, autocomplete suggestions, and webpage extraction through a structured API.

## Verdict

Serper gives your team first-page Google results — web, images, news, maps — without leaving Switchy. @mention it to run searches, scrape pages, pull autocomplete suggestions, or fetch reviews for a place. Marketing teams use it to audit competitor content; support teams use it to verify customer claims; product teams use it to research feature ideas. Each search costs one credit (maps cost three, scraping costs two or more), so batch queries when you can. Auth is straightforward: paste an API key from your Serper dashboard.

## Tools

- **Batch Search the Web** — Run 1-10 independent first-page Google web searches in one native Serper request. Each query consumes one credit, and result envelopes preserve input order. Use SERPER_SEARCH_WEB separately when page continuation is needed.
- **Get Search Suggestions** — Return Google autocomplete suggestions for a partial search query without running a full search.
- **List Locations** — Find canonical Serper location names and country codes for localizing search requests; this lookup consumes no search credits.
- **List Place Reviews** — Return paginated Google reviews for one place identified by Place ID, feature ID, or CID, with optional sorting and topic filtering.
- **Scrape Webpage** — Ask Serper to fetch one webpage and return extracted text, metadata, and optionally markdown, links, images, and videos. Difficult pages may cost 6 or 10 credits instead of 2.
- **Search Images** — Search Google Images and return one page of source pages, full image URLs, thumbnails, dimensions, and positions. Requesting 100 results costs 2 credits instead of 1.
- **Search Maps** — Search Google Maps by text, Place ID, or CID, optionally constrained to a viewport, and return one page of rich place identifiers and contact details. Each page costs 3 Serper credits.
- **Search News** — Search recent Google News coverage and return one page of article titles, links, sources, publication times, snippets, and images when available.
- **Search Scholar** — Search Google Scholar and return one page of academic publications with citation counts, publication metadata, snippets, and PDF links when available.
- **Search Shopping** — Search Google Shopping and return one page of products, prices, merchants, offers, ratings, images, and product IDs. Each page costs 2 credits.
- **Search the Web** — Search Google web results and return one page of organic links plus available answer, knowledge, question, related-search, and top-story sections.
