Search offers academic researchers programmatic access to search results through the Search Researcher Result API (SRR API). This program is intended to facilitate research across a wide range of disciplines.
Search Researcher Results API
Approved researchers can send search requests to Google Search and retrieve responses with the Search Researcher Result API (SRR API). The SRR API is an authenticated API that grants each research project a given number of requests per day. The responses returned are nearly the same as a standard HTTP request sent from a browser. A small number of third-party features may not be present.
Who can apply
Eligibility criteria for the program includes:
- Be a student, research-focused staff or faculty member affiliated with an accredited, and higher education institution that can grant degrees.
- Have a clear researcher goal, and intend to publish their findings. Research can’t be made available for commercial sale.
- Have no affiliation with Alphabet or Google like not working as an intern, temp, vendor, or consultant.
Application process
To request access to the SRR API, complete our researcher application https://requestrecords.google.com/researcher/search-form. Each approved project is provided a quota of 1000 queries per day per project.
