#1 Serper Alternative

import httpx

response = httpx.post(
    "https://google.serper.dev/search",
    headers={"X-API-KEY": SERPER_KEY, "Content-Type": "application/json"},
    json={"q": "coffee grinders", "gl": "us", "hl": "en"},
    timeout=60,
)
response.raise_for_status()
results = response.json()["organic"]

import httpx

response = httpx.get(
    "https://api.litescrape.com/api/google/search",
    params={"q": "coffee grinders", "gl": "us", "hl": "en"},
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {LITESCRAPE_KEY}"},
    timeout=60,
)
response.raise_for_status()
results = response.json()["organic_results"]

• POST with a JSON body becomes GET with query parameters; X-API-KEY becomes an Authorization: Bearer header.
• organic becomes organic_results; title, link, snippet and position keep their names.
• page becomes start, a result offset: page 2 of 10 results is start=10.
