Hi! In this video, we will see how to scrape Google search results using Python. We will use SERP API to make the scraping process fast and easy.

First, sign up for free at serpapi.com after activating your account from your dashboard. You can copy your API key and then create a new env file to store this key like this.

For the main program, we will create an empty main.py file. Moving to the terminal or command prompt, we need to install two packages. First, python. env, and second, the SerpApi library itself.

If you're looking for a DIY solution to get Google search results in Python without relying on Google's official API, you can use web scraping tools like BeautifulSoup and requests.

You might face issues like IP bans or other scraping problems. Also, Google's structure might change, causing your scraper to break. The point is that building your own Google scraper will come with many challenges.

SerpApi provides a more structured and reliable way to obtain Google search results without directly scraping Google. SerpApi essentially serves as a middleman, handling the complexities of scraping and providing structured JSON results. So you can save time and energy to collect data from Google without building your own Google Scraper or using other web scraping tools.
