We emulate set location with the highest accuracy so that the results you receive will match the actual search results for the specified parameters at the time of task setting. 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>You can indicate the following device and OS types that you would like to receive SERP results for when setting a task:<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 95%; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Mobile<\/strong>.

Available methods and priorities are described below.<\/p>\n<p>Yahoo SERP API provides search engine results with three functions: Regular, Advanced, and HTML. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/v3\/serp\/yahoo\/organic\/live\/regular\/?php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Regular function<\/a>\u00a0provides up to 100 organic search results for the specified keyword, search engine, and location. Note that this endpoint does not provide a complete overview of the extra elements of SERPs. Please, refer to <a href=\"\/v3\/serp\/yahoo\/organic\/live\/advanced\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> Yahoo V2 SERP Advanced<\/a> if your project requires a detailed depiction of SERPs.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/v3\/serp\/yahoo\/organic\/live\/advanced\/?php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Advanced function<\/a>\u00a0provides data on the top 10 search engine results for the specified keyword, search engine, and location. This endpoint will supply a complete overview of featured snippets and other extra elements of SERPs.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/v3\/serp\/yahoo\/organic\/live\/html\/?php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The HTML function<\/a>\u00a0provides a raw SERP HTML page for the specified keyword, search engine, and location.<br \/>\n\u200c<\/p>\n<h3>Methods<\/h3>\n<p>The cost of using Yahoo 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\/yahoo\/organic\/live\/regular\/?php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">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\/yahoo\/organic\/task_post\/?php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">POST<\/a> and <a href=\"\/v3\/serp\/yahoo\/organic\/task_get\/regular\/?php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">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\/yahoo\/organic\/task_post\/?php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the Standard method<\/a> of data retrieval. This method requires making separate POST and GET requests, but it\u2019s more affordable. Using this method, you can retrieve the results after our system collects them.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, 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>regular<\/code> or <code>html<\/code>.<\/p>\n<p>If you need to set several tasks, you can receive the list of <code>id<\/code> for all completed tasks using <a href=\"\/v3\/serp\/yahoo\/organic\/tasks_ready\/?php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">&#8216;Tasks Ready&#8217; endpoint,<\/a> and then collect the results of each separate task using <a href=\"\/v3\/serp\/yahoo\/organic\/task_get\/regular\/?php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">&#8216;Task GET&#8217; endpoint.<\/a><\/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\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">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.

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 10, you will be billed for every 10 results.<\/p>\n<p>The cost can be calculated on the <a title=\"Pricing\" href=\"https:\/\/dataforseo.com\/pricing\/serp\/yahoo-serp-api\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pricing<\/a> page.
