Engines beyond the six here (e.g. Yandex)

Recommendation: This API is not a fit.

News or Images from engines other than Google

Recommendation: This API is not a fit; News and Images are Google-only.

Queued jobs

Recommendation: Fits for Google (tasks with polling); other engines are sync only.

No charge for failed requests

Recommendation: Fits: failed searches are not charged.

HTML or Markdown output

Recommendation: This API is not a fit; structured JSON only.

Maybe you need Search Console, not SERP

If what you want is your own site's impressions, clicks and average positions, that is Google Search Console data, not a SERP. Use Google's Search Console API for it.
