About Litescrape
Litescrape is a web data API that returns Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Maps, review, and app store results as JSON for developers, SEO teams, and AI agent builders, at a flat $0.15 per 1,000 requests.
What Litescrape does
Google AI Overview and AI Mode
Pull the AI answer Google shows for a query, with the sources it cites. Teams use it to check whether their domain appears in AI answers and to find the pages Google cites on a topic.
Places and reviews
Search places on Google Maps, Bing Maps, DuckDuckGo Maps, Apple Maps, Yelp, and Tripadvisor, and page through reviews from Google, Apple Maps, Yelp, and Tripadvisor. Each call returns ratings, hours, addresses, and review text as JSON.
App store data
Search Google Play and the Apple App Store, and fetch app pages and reviews. Product teams use it to watch competitor ratings and to read reviews for feature requests.
Python SDK, MCP server, and n8n node
Install the Python SDK with pip install litescrape-sdk, connect an AI agent to the MCP server at mcp.litescrape.com, or add the Litescrape node to an n8n workflow. All three use the same API key at the same price.
What makes Litescrape different
$0.15 per 1,000 requests at any volume
SerpApi's Starter plan is $25 a month for 1,000 searches, and Serper's smallest pack works out to $1.00 per 1,000. Litescrape charges $0.15 per 1,000 whether you send 1,000 requests a month or 10 million.
Prepaid credits with no subscription
SerpApi and Scrapingdog sell monthly plans. Litescrape sells one-time Stripe top-ups from $10, nothing renews, and each top-up's credits last six months.
No hourly, daily, or monthly caps
SerpApi caps its Starter plan at 200 searches per hour. Litescrape has one limit, 25 requests at a time per key, and raises it on request.
One call per request, and failed requests are free
ScraperAPI bills 25 credits for one Google search. Every Litescrape endpoint costs one call, and blocks, timeouts, and errors on our side are refunded automatically.
A working key before you sign up
The homepage issues a key with 10 free calls, no account and no card. SerpApi, Serper, DataForSEO, Bright Data, ScraperAPI, and SearchApi all require an account before the first request.

How Litescrape works
Getting a key
Open litescrape.com and a key with 10 free calls is issued in your browser, with no signup and no card. When you need more, top up the same key through Stripe from $10, which buys 66,667 requests.
Making requests
Send a GET request with your key as a Bearer token and read the JSON response. The docs cover every parameter, example, and response schema, and the playground writes the exact call in Python, Node, or Go.
Support
Email [email protected] and we reply within 24 hours. The same address raises concurrency limits and sets up dedicated throughput or an SLA.

The dashboard shows requests, success rate, latency, and errors for your key, and the key status endpoint returns your remaining balance.
