SerpApi LLC is an American technology company headquartered in Austin, Texas. Founded in 2017 by Julien Khaleghy, who serves as the chief executive officer, the company provides application programming interfaces (APIs) designed to collect and parse search engine results pages (SERPs). The service converts raw search data from various engines into structured formats, such as JSON, for use in data acquisition and data extraction.^[1][2]

SerpApi was founded in December 2017 by Julien Khaleghy, who was born in France but is now an American citizen. Since its founding, SerpApi has operated as a self-funded (bootstrapped) organization. As of 2026, the company has approximately 45 team members and reports profitability without external investors.^[3]

Support for Baidu was added in 2019. Between 2020 and 2025, the company expanded its technical support to include over 40 search engines and platforms, including Google, Bing, Baidu, DuckDuckGo, Amazon, eBay, Walmart, and Yelp. The company's technology utilizes automated data collection infrastructure and distributed network architecture to access publicly available web data.^[4][5]

Its solutions have been utilized by various organizations, including those at Nvidia, Adobe, Uber, Ahrefs, and Shopify. According to industry reports, SerpApi is also utilized by developers of large language models (LLMs) and AI platforms, such as Perplexity and Cursor, to provide live search data for AI training and real-time queries.^[6][7]

In December 2025, the financial service Brex included SerpApi in its list of the 50 fastest-growing software vendors.^[8]

By 2026, the service expanded to support over 40 search engines, social media platforms, and specialized endpoints providing more than 100 APIs.^[3]

In late 2025, SerpApi became a defendant in two federal lawsuits concerning large-scale automated data collection. As of April 2026, both cases remain in litigation with no rulings on the merits. SerpApi has moved to dismiss both suits.^[9]

Reddit filed a federal lawsuit in the Southern District of New York alleging that SerpApi circumvented security measures to harvest Reddit content from Google search results. Reddit's complaint alleged that SerpApi provided gathered data to third parties, including AI developers, without Reddit's authorization or compensation, in violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). In January 2026, SerpApi denied these allegations.^{[10][11][12][9][13][14]}

Google filed a lawsuit in the Northern District of California alleging that SerpApi violated the DMCA. The complaint alleged that SerpApi circumvented a technological protection measure (TPM) known as "SearchGuard," deployed by Google in January 2025.^[15] Google's complaint characterized the data collection as misappropriation of proprietary content, including Knowledge Panels and shopping data, alleging violations of the DMCA.^[16] A hearing on SerpApi’s motion to dismiss is scheduled for May 19, 2026.^[17][18]

SerpApi has contested these allegations, stating that its services only access information that is publicly visible to any standard web browser and that its operations are necessary for competition and innovation in the AI and search sectors.^[19][20]

SerpApi argued that Google was misinterpreting the DMCA, citing precedents including hiQ Labs, Inc. v. LinkedIn Corp (2019). and Impression Products, Inc. v. Lexmark (2017) that limited the application of the DMCA to copyrighted works.^[21][22][23]
