The past week at SerpApi brought new features, expanded scraping capabilities, steady improvements to existing APIs, and a range of important bug fixes.

## ⭐️ Top Updates

### We have added support for the Markdown Output

We're excited to introduce our new [Markdown Output](https://serpapi.com/markdown-output)** **feature, allowing developers to retrieve search results formatted as clean, LLM-optimized Markdown across all 100+ SerpApi search engines. By simply passing `output=md`

, calling the `/search.md`

endpoint, or setting the `Accept: text/markdown`

header, responses are returned with YAML frontmatter, structured Markdown tables, and native inline links while automatically stripping internal tracking noise and duplicate fields. This delivers an average of 50% token savings, reaching up to 90%+ on complex search engines like Google Shopping, Google Hotels, or Apple Maps, allowing models to consume search context faster and more affordably. Available at no extra cost, this feature is ideal for developers building AI agents, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines, conversational assistants, and LLM-powered workflows that need to maximize context window capacity while cutting token costs.

### Announcing the new SerpApi .NET Library

We're excited to announce our new official [SerpApi .NET Library](https://serpapi.com/integrations/dotnet), bringing seamless C# integration across our full range of search engines, including Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, YouTube, and major e-commerce platforms. Designed for high performance, the SDK features an async-first non-blocking architecture with `CancellationToken`

support, `IAsyncEnumerable`

pagination for streaming multi-page results with a single loop, native `IHttpClientFactory`

dependency injection for ASP.NET Core, and token-efficient Markdown output optimized for LLMs and AI agents. With zero external runtime dependencies on modern .NET and broad compatibility targeting .NET Standard 2.0 alongside .NET 7, 8, 9, and 10, it simplifies querying and processing search data in your preferred format. This library is ideal for developers building AI agents, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines, enterprise search tools, market intelligence dashboards, and high-throughput .NET applications.
