Below you will find code examples that print the total number of search results as well as each organic search result returned by the Serpstack API. The API is compatible with any programming language available, below we are including example code for PHP, Python, Nodejs, jQuery, Go and Ruby.

Code Example - PHP

$queryString = http_build_query([\n  'access_key' => 'YOUR_ACCESS_KEY',\n  'query' => 'mcdonalds',\n]);\n\n$ch = curl_init(sprintf('%s?%s', 'https://api.serpstack.com/search', $queryString));\ncurl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);\n\n$json = curl_exec($ch);\ncurl_close($ch);\n\n$api_result = json_decode($json, true);\n\necho \"Total results: \", $api_result['search_information']['total_results'], PHP_EOL;\n\nforeach ($api_result['organic_results'] as $number => $result) {\n  echo \"{$number}. {$result['title']}\", PHP_EOL;\n}

Code Example - Python

import requests\n\nparams = {\n  'access_key': 'YOUR_ACCESS_KEY',\n  'query': 'mcdonalds'\n}\n\napi_result = requests.get('https://api.serpstack.com/search', params)\n\napi_response = api_result.json()\n\nprint \"Total results: \", api_response['search_information']['total_results']\n\nfor number, result in enumerate(api_response['organic_results'], start=1):\n    print \"%s. %s\" % (number, result['title'])

Code Example - Nodejs

const axios = require('axios');\nconst params = {\n  access_key: 'YOUR_ACCESS_KEY',\n  query: 'mcdonalds'\n}\n\naxios.get('http://127.0.0.1:8000/serp.php', {params})\n  .then(response => {\n    const apiResponse = response.data;\n    console.log(\"Total results: \", apiResponse.search_information.total_results);\n    apiResponse.organic_results.map((result, number) =>\n      console.log(`${number+1}. ${result.title}`));\n  }).catch(error => {\n    console.log(error);\n  });

Code Example - jQuery

$.ajax({\n  url: 'https://api.serpstack.com/search',\n  data: {\n    access_key: 'YOUR_ACCESS_KEY',\n    query: 'mcdonalds'\n  },\n  dataType: 'json',\n  success: function(apiResponse) {\n    console.log(\"Total results:\", apiResponse.search_information.total_results);\n    apiResponse.organic_results.map(function(result, number) {\n      console.log(number + 1 + \".\", result.title);\n    });\n  }\n});

Code Example - Go

package main\n\nimport (\n  \"encoding/json\"\n  \"fmt\"\n  \"net/http\"\n)\n\ntype SearchInformation struct {\n  TotalResults int `json:\"total_results\"`\n}\n\ntype OrganicResult struct {\n  Title string `json:\"title\"`\n}\n\ntype Response struct {\n\tSearchInformation   SearchInformation `json:\"search_information\"`\n\tOrganicResults      []OrganicResult `json:\"organic_results\"`\n}\n\nfunc main() {\n  httpClient := http.Client{}\n\n  req, err := http.NewRequest(\"GET\", \"https://api.serpstack.com/search\", nil)\n  if err != nil {\n    panic(err)\n  }\n\n  q := req.URL.Query()\n  q.Add(\"access_key\", \"YOUR_ACCESS_KEY\")\n  q.Add(\"query\", \"macdonalds\")\n  req.URL.RawQuery = q.Encode()\n\n  res, err := httpClient.Do(req)\n  if err != nil {\n    panic(err)\n  }\n  defer res.Body.Close()\n\n  var apiResponse Response\n  json.NewDecoder(res.Body).Decode(&apiResponse)\n\n  fmt.Println(\"Total results:\", apiResponse.SearchInformation.TotalResults)\n  for index, result := range apiResponse.OrganicResults {\n    fmt.Printf(\"%d. %s\\n\", index + 1, result.Title)\n  }\n\n}

Code Example - Ruby

require 'net/http'\nrequire 'json'\n\nparams = {\n  :access_key => \"YOUR_ACCESS_KEY\",\n  :query => \"mcdonalds\"\n}\nuri = URI('https://api.serpstack.com/search')\nuri.query = URI.encode_www_form(params)\njson = Net::HTTP.get(uri)\napi_response = JSON.parse(json)\n\nputs \"Total results: #{api_response['search_information']['total_results']}\"\n\napi_response['organic_results'].each_with_index do |result, number|\n  puts \"#{number + 1}. #{result['title']}\"\nend
