Query with resultsNum

This documentation provides an example of how to send a GET request to the SERP API using the resultsNum parameter and interpret the merged response.

API Request with resultsNum​

curl --location 'https://serp-api.netnut.io/search?q=news&device=desktop&resultsNum=50&gl=us&hl=en' \
  --header 'Authorization: Basic <base64(username:password)>'

In this request, we use:

• resultsNum (integer 10–100): the total number of organic results you wish to receive in one combined response.

By specifying resultsNum=50, the API internally fetches enough paginated pages, merges them (organic results only), and returns a single unified output.

Notes:

• Usage of gl and hl is mandatory, without it you will get error 400.

• The "organic" array contains merged results from all internally fetched pages, ranked continuously.

• If a paginated shard fails, shards after it are not fetched, and only results from succeeded shards appear.

• "pagesProcessed" indicates how many page‐requests were actually completed.
