Compared with Oxylabs

Oxylabs SERP Alternative

Search results without a proxy pool.

Google, Bing, Yahoo and DuckDuckGo: live · Baidu and Ecosia: opening soon · not GA

Oxylabs is known for proxies and scraper APIs. If your job is search results only, compare a SERP API that handles fetching server-side without exposing any proxy configuration.

Do you need proxies at all?

  • If you only need search results, you do not need to manage IPs: fetching happens server-side.
  • There are no proxy fields in the request body; unknown fields are rejected.
  • If the upstream fetch fails you get 502 and nothing is charged.
  • If you scrape other sites too, a proxy provider may still make sense for that work.

Ecommerce gap

Third-party write-ups about Oxylabs alternatives focus on ecommerce. This API has no Google Shopping or product data.
