Serply Search
Serply (https://serply.io) is a Google SERP API. It returns the ranked organic results for a keyword query, and exposes Google News and Google Scholar as separate endpoints. API reference: https://serply.io/docs
When to use Serply vs. Exa vs. WebSearch
| Query shape | Use |
|---|---|
| "Companies building agent coordination layers" | Exa (conceptual, embedding match) |
| "Blogs that argue knowledge is not data" | Exa (argument-shape) |
"What ranks on page 1 for bun sqlite orm" |
Serply search (the ranking is the answer) |
| "Funding rounds for company X since June" | Serply news (named entity plus date) |
| "How heavily cited is paper Y" | Serply scholar (citation counts) |
| "What is the official Bun docs URL?" | WebSearch (one concrete lookup) |
Exa ranks by embedding similarity, so it wins at "find me things shaped like this". Serply returns what Google actually ranks, which is what you want when position, recency, or citation weight is the thing being measured. A plain WebSearch is still the cheapest way to settle a single fact.
