Supported triggers and actions for SerpApi integration
Triggers can detect changes in SerpApi and run actions that can create, search or modify data inside SerpApi automatically [3] — exactly how you set them.
- 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".
- Get Google Maps DirectionsRuns a Google Maps Directions lookup (engine=google_maps_directions) between two addresses. No pagination — point-to-point routing returns a single response.
- Get Google Maps ReviewsRuns a Google Maps Reviews lookup (engine=google_maps_reviews) for a place by data_id or place_id. Pages via an opaque next_page_token.
- Get Google Play ProductRuns a Google Play product detail lookup (engine=google_play_product) by product_id + store. Reviews page via an opaque next_page_token.
- Get Google TrendsRuns a Google Trends lookup (engine=google_trends). No pagination — data_type selects timeseries/region/topic/query views of the same request.
- Get Google Trends Trending NowRuns a Google Trends Trending Now lookup (engine=google_trends_trending_now) for a region. Pages via an opaque next_page_token.
- Get LocationsReturns locations.
- Search AmazonRuns an Amazon product search (engine=amazon). Query param is k, not q; pages via page (page number, 1-based).
- Search BaiduRuns a Baidu search (engine=baidu). Pages via pn (offset) + rn (count, max 50, desktop/tablet only) — Baidu-specific param names.
- Search BingRuns a Bing web search (engine=bing). Pages via first (offset, 1-based) + count — different param names than Google.
- Search Bing ImagesRuns a Bing Images search (engine=bing_images). Pages via first (offset, 1-based) + count.
- Search Bing NewsRuns a Bing News search (engine=bing_news). Pages via first (offset, 1-based) + count.
- Search DuckDuckGoRuns a DuckDuckGo search (engine=duckduckgo). Pages via start (offset) only.
- Search EBayRuns an eBay search (engine=ebay). Query param is _nkw, not q; pages via _pgn (page number, 1-based).
- Search GoogleRuns a Google web search (engine=google) and returns organic results, answer box, and knowledge graph.
- Search Google AI ModeRuns a Google AI Mode search (engine=google_ai_mode) and returns the AI-generated answer with citations. No pagination on this engine.
How to integrate SerpApi in automation workflow?
3 simple steps to make your SerpApi connected with other apps in automation workflows on WEXTL. Up to 10 minutes integration set up.
STEP 2
Connect SerpApi
When prompted, authorize access to SerpApi in WEXTL once. SerpApi credentials are encrypted and never shared with WEXTL. Authorization will be reused in any future API calls [3].
WEXTL wants to integrate with your SerpApi account. Approve?
STEP 3
Build a workflow
Build your workflow with SerpApi yourself or with WEXTL® AI Builder. Connect SerpApi to any available integrations [5], or use HTTP node to go beyond them.

How SerpApi connects and integrates with WEXTL
Save and approve your credentials once — WEXTL® stores authorization information encrypted and reuses the authentication whenever SerpApi app is called in workflows. That allows your developer tools automations to run without your attention, per defined schedule [7]. Explore documentation [6] for a detailed list of fields that SerpApi supports.
The following table illustrates what fields SerpApi integration require during authorization flow inside our workflow builder [4].

Connect SerpApi to popular apps on WEXTL
Enter a name of the other app you want to sync with SerpApi below. Click on selected app to explore integration options with SerpApi. If the app you search for is not available in WEXTL yet, you can use HTTP node [10] instead to integrate it directly.
Example automation with SerpApi integration
Select Get Account Info action from SerpApi - this will be a starting point in your automation. Whenever event happens in SerpApi, workflow will start [7] from Get Account Info node.
Search for Make an API Call, connect it as the next step of integration sequence. You can use filters between Get Account Info and Make an API Call, so only important data pass from Get Account Info to the next step. WEXTL gives you full control over the process of SerpApi automation. All parts of workflow are visible on the canvas [4].
SerpApi on WEXTL has 38 modules for creating developer tools automations. Explore SerpApi documentation for more.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about automating SerpApi in your workflows.
SerpApi has no triggers, but it provides 38 actions including "Get Account Info", "Get Facebook Profile", and "Get Google AI Overview". Pair them with triggers from other apps to automate SerpApi tasks.
Integration has 38 actions, including "Get Account Info", "Get Facebook Profile", and "Get Google AI Overview", and more. Refer to our SerpApi Documentation for detailed inputs and outputs.
No. Most automations are built visually on the canvas by picking triggers, actions, and mapping fields. You can add custom JavaScript with Functions when advanced logic is needed — but our customers do that in rare cases [4].
Yes. Connections are authenticated per account, credentials are encrypted at rest, and you can enforce approvals and team-level access controls on any automation.
The SerpApi integration on WEXTL runs directly on its vendor public API — every field name, authentication method, and rate limit is controlled by SerpApi official API and covered in documentation [3]. WEXTL handles the request signing and pagination for you.
Absolutely. Where SerpApi provides native webhooks, you can use instant triggers to eliminate polling delay. For custom webhooks, WEXTL offers Custom Webhook node, so you can start automation whenever SerpApi or any other service sends event to webhook URL.
WEXTL is an AI-first visual canvas. The platform allows you to describe automation in plain text — and AI will wire nodes for SerpApi inside the workflow builder [4]. You can also use built-in workflow nodes (AI Agent, Human in the Loop, Condition, Aggregate Results) in pair with SerpApi modules to craft complex integration flows with branches, filtering, and conditional logic. There are absolutely no limits of what you can build.
