SerpApi released its weekly changelog for Aug 31 - Sep 06, 2026, announcing the restoration of direct URLs for Google APIs after resolving Google's rollout of google.com/goto redirect URLs, and introducing a new Bing Events Results API for structured local event data extraction. The update also includes bug fixes and feature enhancements across Google Search, Google Ads Transparency Center, Yahoo! Search, Amazon Product, Bing Maps, Naver AI Overview, and Bing Search APIs.

The past week at SerpApi brought new APIs, features, expanded scraping capabilities, steady improvements to existing APIs, and a range of important bug fixes. ⭐️ Top Updates We have restored direct URLs for Google APIs https://serpapi.com/blog/we-have-resolved-the-google-goto-url-redirect-rollout/ We have restored direct URLs for Google APIs We've successfully resolved Google's recent rollout of google.com/goto redirect URLs across search results, ensuring our Google APIs continue to return direct, clean destination URLs in your results. When Google expanded the use of internal tracking redirects to replace direct landing page URLs, our engineering team swiftly deployed updates across all affected result types to decode and normalize every URL variation behind the scenes. This seamless resolution ensures uninterrupted data stability for rank tracking platforms, SEO audit tools, citation extraction systems, AI agents, RAG pipelines, and content discovery applications that rely on accurate, direct destination links to monitor performance and power downstream workflows. Bing Events Results API https://serpapi.com/bing-events-results Bing Events Results API We've expanded our Bing Search API with dedicated parsing for Bing's Events Results section, making it effortless to extract structured local event listings directly from Bing search pages. The API automatically parses key event details into clean JSON and Markdown, including titles, event types, locations, dates, times, ticket prices, thumbnails, and direct links, along with interactive category filters like Music, Comedy, Sports, and Theater. It also handles special layout variations such as AI generated event lists and local activity roundups. This addition is ideal for developers building event discovery platforms, city travel guides, ticket aggregation tools, neighborhood activity apps, and AI powered itinerary planners that need real time event data across any location.
