Include Results from SerpAPI for Kagi Search and Assistant

Xytronix

SerpAPI provides an API endpoint for scraping search results across a variety of platforms.

SerpAPI can enhance the Search Experience for Kagi users by providing missing features. These could include Google Lens and Google Trends API.

Additionally, they offer a high-speed version of the API, which may further enhance performance.

It’s trusted by major companies such as Perplexity, Airbnb, Nvidia, Shopify, and Meta.

What data do you miss/have a use case in Kagi? Note also that SerpAPI is either too slow or too expensive (if not slow) for most use cases.

Vlad I would introduce a MAX Search Mode for Ultimate Users where you take some extra time for a query and include more sources as ones from SerpAPI. Similar to Deep Research, this mode would prioritize depth while taking a delay in delivering results.

SerpAPI is developing a Bulk Mode, which enables multi-topic searches over several hours in multiple regions. This feature could align with the Ultimate plan that currently focuses on AI-focused use cases.

Bing Search is a crucial data source, losing access to it would likely reduce the overall quality of Kagi results.
Integrating SerpAPI as an alternative source can help maintain result quality.
