Search Intelligence API: Google Search, Maps, News & Ads Data for Smarter Decisions
Last updated: 2026-09-02 · AntsData web scraper API
What is search intelligence?
Search intelligence is the systematic capture of Google data — search results, Maps listings, News coverage and search ads — to inform SEO, local sales and ad strategy. A scraping API returns these four surfaces as structured JSON (title, URL, snippet, price/rating, ad copy), removing the manual clickwork.
The four Google scrapers
| Scraper | Fields | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Google Search (SERP) | Title, URL, snippet, source site, keyword | SEO monitoring, keyword research |
| Google Maps | Name, address, phone, rating, reviews count, hours, category | Local business leads, location analytics |
| Google News | Title, source, publish time, summary, article URL | Media monitoring, trend detection |
| Google Ads | Ad title, description, target URL, advertiser, placement | Ad intelligence, competitor analysis |
