To support these use cases, NetNut’s SERP API offers **Fast SERP** extraction for Google searches via the `fastSerp` parameter. This feature is designed to return the main Google organic results faster by focusing on the core SERP data points and reducing additional processing. Fast SERP is recommended when the main requirement is receiving Google organic results quickly and consistently. *** ### Parameter: `fastSerp` | Field | Value | | ---------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Type | Boolean `0 / 1` | | Default | `0` | | Supported Engine | Google Search | | Description | When set to `1`, the API enables faster Google SERP extraction, focused mainly on organic results. | *** ### Supported Parameters When using `fastSerp=1`, you can still use the regular Google SERP supported parameters, including: | Parameter | Description | | --------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `q` | Search query | | `hl` | Language | | `gl` | Country | | `uule` | Encoded Google location parameter | | `device` | Device type | | `rawHtml` | Controls raw HTML response behavior. `rawHtml=1` returns the parsed JSON response together with the raw HTML. `rawHtml=2` returns only the raw HTML response. | *** ### Unsupported Features The following feature is **not supported** when using Fast SERP: | Feature | Status | | ------------- | ------------------------------- | | `enhancedAio` | Not supported with `fastSerp=1` | Fast SERP is optimized for faster response time and organic result extraction. Advanced extraction features that require additional rendering or parsing are not available in this mode. *** ### Time & Performance Fast SERP is designed to reduce processing time compared to the standard Google SERP flow. Actual response time may vary depending on Google response behavior, location, request parameters, and system load. *** ### Example API Request ``` GET https://serp-api.netnut.io/search?q=coffee&hl=en&gl=us&fastSerp=1 ``` *** ## Fast SERP Response Structure When using `fastSerp=1`, the response will include the standard Google SERP response structure, with `organic` as the main data point. ### Main Response Fields | Field | Type | Description | | --------- | ------ | ----------------------------------------------------- | | `url` | string | Final Google search URL used for the request | | `general` | object | General metadata about the SERP response | | `input` | object | Original request/job metadata | | `organic` | array | Organic search results extracted from the Google SERP | *** ### Example Response ``` { "url": "http://www.google.com/search?gl=US&hl=en&q=coffee&uule=w+CAIQICINVW5pdGVkIFN0YXRlcw", "general": { "searchEngine": "google_search", "language": "en", "device": "desktop", "searchType": "text", "pageTitle": "coffee - Google Search", "timestamp": "2026-05-20T08:36:16.327475116Z", "render": false }, "input": { "originalUrl": "http://www.google.com/search?gl=US&hl=en&q=coffee&uule=w+CAIQICINVW5pdGVkIFN0YXRlcw", "jobId": "ce745c4c-0c9c-44e4-91d2-163d3cc1b12a" }, "organic": [ { "title": "Coffee", "description": "Coffee is a beverage brewed from roasted, ground coffee beans. Darkly colored, bitter, and slightly acidic, coffee has a stimulating effect on humans.", "displayLink": "https://en.wikipedia.org › wiki › Coffee", "link": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coffee", "imageAlt": "coffee from en.wikipedia.org", "timeSince": "", "rank": 1 }, { "title": "Starbucks Coffee Company", "description": "More than just great coffee.
