Zapier + SerpKite
Run a Google search from any Zap with Webhooks by Zapier's Custom Request action, or a few lines in Code by Zapier. An official SerpKite app for Zapier is on the way.
Official Zapier app coming soon
A SerpKite app for Zapier is on our roadmap. The Custom Request setup below works in the meantime.
Overview
What Zapier is, and where SerpKite fits
Zapier connects thousands of apps with trigger → action Zaps. Webhooks by Zapier (available on paid Zapier plans) can send a custom POST to SerpKite and turn the JSON response into fields you can use in later steps.
If you prefer, Code by Zapier runs a short JavaScript or Python snippet and returns just the fields you need.

Code steps return only what you need, which keeps later steps simple. Put the key in the step's Input Data as apiKey.
// Code by Zapier (JavaScript). Input Data: apiKey, query
const res = await fetch("https://api.serpkite.com/v1/news", {
method: "POST",
headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${inputData.apiKey}`, "Content-Type": "application/json" },
body: JSON.stringify({ q: inputData.query, country: "us", time: "day" }),
});
const data = await res.json();
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(data.error.message);
output = data.results.slice(0, 5).map((n) => ({ title: n.title, link: n.link, source: n.source }));FAQ
