New Official SDKs for TypeScript, Python and Go
Product
New endpoints, parameters and dashboard features, by API version. For Google's own changes, see the Google SERP changelog.
SerpKite no longer parses Google's AI Overview or offers the AI Mode endpoint. Web search returns organic results and the other SERP features as before.
/v1/search drops the ai_overview request parameter and the ai_overview response field.POST /v1/ai-mode is removed./v1/mcp) no longer lists the ai_overview tool.Upstream failures now return 503 with the usual JSON error body and a Retry-After header. The API never returns 502 or 504, because proxies such as Cloudflare replace those bodies and clients could not read the error.
upstream_error, upstream_blocked and upstream_timeout are 503 (were 502, 502 and 504). The code values are unchanged, the calls are still not billed and safe to retry.503s carry Retry-After (a few seconds). The official SDKs already retry 5xx and honour it.503 upstream_error with Retry-After (was 502).SerpKite's own versioned API: every route under /v1, Bearer auth, one snake_case response envelope for every vertical, a dedicated batches endpoint and official SDKs. The OpenAPI contract is v1.0.0; breaking changes from here on get a new version and a migration note.
