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 #
Google Search API
Google Search API
We've expanded our Google Search API to extract the Transport Options answer box, making it easy to programmatically access train and public transit information directly from Google Search. The new response includes available routes, departure and arrival times, trip duration, transfers, fares, operators, ticket providers, and detailed itinerary segments in a structured JSON format. This makes it simple to build AI-powered travel assistants, trip planners, multimodal routing applications, fare comparison tools, and conversational agents that can answer transportation questions or recommend the best travel options without the complexity of parsing Google's rich answer boxes.
