Sign in to use the Playground
Create a free account — free to start, with 10 free calls shared across services: Web Search, News, Images, Videos, Shopping, AI Rank, Maps, LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram, Amazon, eBay, TikTok, X and Reddit.
Submit with Run Request, then use the job ID to check progress, read a saved page, or cancel. Jobs need paid credits; saved pages expire seven days after submission.
Submit a batch, then collect its results
Bulk jobs use paid credits. Each item is charged at submission; failed items and undelivered paid additions receive the applicable refund. Successful results remain available even if another item fails. Read the bulk guide.
Keep the same key and items when a submission is interrupted. This session saves the batch for your account. Use New batch when you want different items.
View submission command
Jobs and their saved results are retained for seven days. Check status to refresh an expired file link. Cancelling stops work that has not started; already completed results remain available.

Test Serpent API Endpoints
Select an API key, choose a product category and inspect both formatted output and raw JSON. Local development uses the same public paths as the hosted site.
Google Maps
Run Quick or Deep place search, fetch one place record, and page through reviews. Search results visibly distinguish complete and core-only detail.
SERP Endpoints
Test web search, news, images and video results across supported engines. Quick and deep search both support up to 100 results; quick is speed-optimized, deep carries the rich SERP fields.
AI Ranking
Check how AI models cite websites. Query Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity to see which domains get referenced in their responses. Track your brand's AI visibility.
Social Media
Search YouTube videos, get channel statistics, retrieve video metadata, and retrieve Instagram profile data. All responses in clean, structured JSON.
How the Playground Works
- Sign in — your first API key is created for you and selected in the dropdown automatically. Add, rename, or disable keys any time on the API Keys page.
- Choose a category — SERP, Google Maps, AI Ranking, or Social Media.
- Configure your query — set the search engine, country, number of results, and filters.
- Hit Run — the playground calls the API and displays formatted results with timing, result count, and the raw JSON response.
Supported Search Engines
Serpent API supports five major search engines: Google, Yahoo, Bing, DuckDuckGo, and Brave. Endpoint and feature coverage varies by engine; responses use documented public fields.
Pricing
Web requests start from $0.03 per 1,000 at Enterprise Plus tier, with account-state billing rules. Every new account gets free calls. See full pricing for per-engine costs across all tiers.
