New API enables developers to extract structured content, discover website pages, and perform bounded crawling, all within the SerpApi workflow
SerpApi today announced the launch of Extract API, a new capability that helps developers retrieve real-time data from publicly available web pages in easy-to-use formats. The release expands SerpApi beyond search result retrieval, helping developers move from discovering relevant web pages to accessing the structured content behind them. With Extract API, developers can search, discover, and extract public web data within a single workflow.
For developers building AI applications, research platforms, and data-driven products, finding a relevant URL is often only the first step. Turning web pages into usable data frequently requires custom scrapers, parsing logic, and website-specific extraction workflows that add complexity and maintenance overhead.
With Extract API, developers can start with a single URL, discover additional pages across a website, and extract structured content in formats suitable for downstream applications and AI workflows. While developers often rely on separate tools for search, extraction, and crawling, Extract API brings these capabilities together within the existing SerpApi platform, API ecosystem, and developer workflow.
“For years, we've helped developers find information on the web through search engine result page APIs,” said Julien Khaleghy, CEO and founder of SerpApi. “But finding a page is often just the first step. Developers increasingly need access to the content behind those results for AI agents, research workflows, and data-driven applications. With Extract API, we're making it easier to extract structured content from public web pages without the burden of building and maintaining extraction infrastructure.”
As organizations build AI applications, research tools, monitoring systems, and data-driven products, the need for reliable access to web-based information continues to grow. Developers increasingly need more than URLs, requiring structured content, metadata, links, and other signals that can be consumed by applications and AI workflows.
Extract API addresses these needs by transforming supported public web pages into normalized, structured data that can be consumed by applications, knowledge systems, and AI tools.
Potential use cases include:
- AI agents that need access to webpage content and supporting evidence
- Research platforms that collect information from public websites
- Product and market monitoring workflows
- SEO and content discovery initiatives
- Internal knowledge enrichment and retrieval systems
Extract API is now available across all SerpApi accounts and supports extraction of publicly available web pages through a generic extraction workflow.
Because extraction relies on a generalized parser, website support may vary. Some URLs covered by dedicated SerpApi engines may return the schema associated with that specialized engine. Crawl usage is billed based on successfully extracted pages.
