SerpApi modules
- Get Account InfoReturns account info.
- Get Facebook ProfileRuns a Facebook public profile lookup (engine=facebook_profile) by profile_id. No pagination — single profile object.
- Get Google AI OverviewResolves a Google AI Overview (engine=google_ai_overview) using a page_token captured from a prior Search Google run. No pagination — page_token IS the required input, not an offset.
- Get Google FinanceRuns a Google Finance lookup (engine=google_finance) for a stock/index/currency symbol. No pagination on this engine.
- Get Google Immersive ProductRuns a Google Immersive Product lookup (engine=google_immersive_product) via a page_token captured from a prior Google/Google Shopping search's immersive_product_page_token field. This is the vendor's live-documented replacement for the shut-down Google Product engine (google_product) — SerpApi: "Google has shutdown the Google Product service ... The Google Immersive Product API contains the same information ... and should be used instead".

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about connecting Box and SerpApi.
Connect your Box and SerpApi accounts once, pick a trigger in one app and an action in the other, then map the fields so data flows automatically between them. [3]
Example: when Box's "Watch Admin Log Events" fires, WEXTL can "Get Account Info" in SerpApi. Box has 2 triggers (including Watch Admin Log Events and Watch Box Webhook); SerpApi has 38 actions (including Get Account Info, Get Facebook Profile, and Get Google AI Overview). Add filters and transforms between steps when you need them. [1]
Yes — the integration works in both directions. Use each app's triggers to start a workflow and the other app's actions to update it. [2]
No. Box-to-SerpApi automations are built visually on the canvas. You can optionally add custom JavaScript with Functions when you need advanced logic. [4]
Yes. Trigger-based automations start the moment Box (or SerpApi) fires a new event — webhook-backed apps run within seconds, and polling-only apps re-check on a schedule you control. [7]
A first automation typically takes 5–10 minutes: connect each app's credential once, drop a trigger + action onto the canvas, map the fields, and turn the workflow on.
You can build your Box + SerpApi automation on a 3-day trial with every feature unlocked. Cancel anytime. For your protection, a small deposit is charged to your card when your trial starts. It counts toward your first payment and is non-refundable. [8]
