ZenRows Alternative

A search-first ZenRows alternative

ZenRows is a general scraping API that returns HTML you still have to parse. Searlo returns already-structured Google SERP data — positions, snippets, and metadata — at $0.30 per 1,000 queries.

ZenRows excels at fetching arbitrary web pages past anti-bot defenses, handing back HTML. For search specifically, that leaves you to parse the SERP, track Google's markup changes, and extract positions yourself.

Searlo skips that work for search results. One request returns the organic list with positions plus parsed SERP features, so you consume data, not markup. It is purpose-built for search, priced at $0.30 per 1,000 queries with 3,000 free credits.

No HTML parsing

Receive structured organic results and features — not a page to scrape.

Positions + rich metadata

Titles, snippets, domains, and favicons parsed into every response.

Sub-second SERP fetches

Optimized for search latency, not general page rendering.

$0.30 per 1,000

Predictable per-query pricing built for search volume.

Get started in one request

Instead of fetching and parsing HTML, request structured search data directly:

cURLbash

curl "https://api.searlo.tech/api/v1/search/web?q=smart%20home%20devices&num=10" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Pythonpython

import requests

r = requests.get(
    "https://api.searlo.tech/api/v1/search/web",
    params={"q": "smart home devices", "num": 10},
    headers={"x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY"},
)
results = r.json()["organic"]
for o in results:
    print(o["position"], o["domain"], o["title"])

Node.jsjavascript

const res = await fetch(
  "https://api.searlo.tech/api/v1/search/web?q=" +
    encodeURIComponent("smart home devices") + "&num=10",
  { headers: { "x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY" } },
);
const { organic } = await res.json();
organic.forEach(o =>
  console.log(o.position, o.domain, o.title));

Search results vs general scraping

A general scraping API is the right tool when you need arbitrary pages. But for Google search results, you want a provider that already understands the SERP: where organic results sit, what features appear, and how to keep up with Google's frequent layout changes.

Searlo specializes in exactly that, so your team never writes or maintains SERP-parsing logic.

Frequently asked questions

How is Searlo different from ZenRows?

ZenRows returns HTML from arbitrary pages; Searlo returns parsed Google SERP data — positions and features — purpose-built for search.

Do I still need to parse the SERP?

No. Searlo returns structured organic results and SERP features, so there is no HTML parsing to write or maintain.

Is it cheaper for search use cases?

For search specifically, Searlo's $0.30 per 1,000 and zero parsing overhead usually make it cheaper end-to-end.

Does it handle Google layout changes?

Yes. Keeping pace with Google's SERP changes is Searlo's job, not yours.

Can I try it free?

Yes — 3,000 free credits to start.
