All POST data should be sent in the [JSON](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON) format (UTF-8 encoding). The task setting is done using the POST method. When setting a task, you should send all task parameters in the task array of the generic POST array. You can send up to 2000 API calls per minute, each Live SERP API call can contain only one task.
