You can always check the returned results accessing the <code>check_url<\/code> in the Incognito mode to make sure the received data is entirely relevant. Note that user preferences, search history, and other personalized search factors are ignored by our system and thus would not be reflected in the returned SERP results.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> Google Images provides results for <code>desktop<\/code> only. You can indicate the following OS that you would like to receive SERP results for when setting a task: Windows, macOS.<br \/>\n\u200c\u200c&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Google V2 SERP functions<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<a href=\"\/v3\/serp\/google\/v2\/live\/advanced\/\">Google V2 SERP Advanced endpoint<\/a> provides data on the top 100 results from Google Images for the specified keyword, search engine, and location. Using this endpoint you will get a complete overview of images listed in SERP along with their positions, URLs, titles, and other included items.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/v3\/serp\/google\/v2\/live\/html\/\">Google V2 SERP HTML endpoint<\/a> provides a raw HTML page of 100 search engine results for the specified keyword, search engine, and location.<br \/>\n\u200c&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Methods<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\nThe cost of using Google V2 SERP endpoints depends on the selected method and priority of task execution. Available methods and priorities are described below.<\/p>\n<p>DataForSEO has two main methods to deliver SERP results: Standard and Live.<\/p>\n<p>If your system requires delivering instant results, <a href=\"\/v3\/serp\/google\/v2\/live\/advanced\/\">the Live method<\/a> is the best solution for you. Unlike the Standard method, this method doesn\u2019t require making separate <a href=\"\/v3\/serp\/google\/v2\/task_post\/\">POST<\/a> and <a href=\"\/v3\/serp\/google\/v2\/task_get\/advanced\/\">GET<\/a> requests to the corresponding endpoints.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t need to receive data in real-time, you can use <a href=\"\/v3\/serp\/google\/v2\/task_post\/\">the Standard method<\/a> of data retrieval. This method requires making separate <a href=\"\/v3\/serp\/google\/v2\/task_post\/\">POST<\/a> and <a href=\"\/v3\/serp\/google\/v2\/task_get\/advanced\/\">GET<\/a> requests, but it\u2019s more affordable. Using this method, you can retrieve the results after our system collects them.<\/p>\n<p>\u200cAlternatively, you can specify <code>pingback_url<\/code> or <code>postback_url<\/code> when setting a task, and we will notify you on completion of tasks or send the results to you respectively. Note that if you use the <code>postback_url<\/code> field, you should also indicate the function that will be applied for data retrieval: <code>advanced<\/code> or <code>html<\/code>. <\/p>\n<p>If you use the Standard method without specifying <code>pingback_url<\/code> or <code>postback_url<\/code>, you can receive the list of id for all completed tasks using the <strong>&#8216;Tasks Ready&#8217;<\/strong> endpoint. It is designed to provide you with the list of completed tasks, which haven&#8217;t been collected yet. Then, you can retrieve the results using the <strong>\u2018Task GET\u2019<\/strong> endpoint.<\/p>\n<p>Learn more about task completion and obtaining a list of completed tasks in <a href=\"https:\/\/dataforseo.com\/help-center\/completed-tasks\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">this help center article.<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>You can send up to 2000 POST and GET API calls per minute in total, with each POST call containing no more than 100 tasks. Contact us if you would like to raise the limit. &nbsp;\u200c<\/p>\n<h3>Priorities and cost<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\nThe Live method delivers results in real-time, and accordingly, the cost of requests made using this method will be the highest.<\/p>\n<p>The Standard method has two different priorities that stand for the relative speed of task execution and have different prices:<\/p>\n<p>1. Normal priority;<br \/>\n2. High priority.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> setting <code>depth<\/code> above the default value will increase the cost of the task. For example, if the default value is 100, you will be billed for every 100 results. So, if you specify <code>\"depth\": 150<\/code>, the price for the task will be multiplied by 2 and you will be billed as for 200 results.<\/p>\n<p>The cost can be calculated on the <a title=\"Pricing\" href=\"https:\/\/dataforseo.com\/pricing\/serp\/google-images-serp-api\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pricing<\/a> page. <\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Google V2 SERP: Overview This API is designed to provide you with the top 100 SERP results from Google Images The returned results are specific to the indicated keyword, search engine, and location parameters.
