Easy Tech TutsHow to Connect SerpApi to n8n & Use it Easily 2026
By Impran M N
SerpApi gives you programmatic access to search engine results, and connecting it to n8n means you can pull live search data straight into an automation without writing scraping code yourself. This guide covers setting up the node, securing your API token, and structuring search queries with location and language filters.
01Create a new workflow canvas
Open a fresh, empty workflow in your n8n workspace to build the search automation.
02Add the SerpApi node
Search for and deploy the SerpApi integration node onto your canvas.
03Add your API credentials
Enter your private SerpApi token in the credential submenu to authenticate requests.
04Set your search parameters
Choose your target search engine and enter the core search term you want results for.
05Apply optional filters
Add country codes, language restrictions, or page offsets to narrow down the returned results.
06Connect and test the node
Sequence the node into your workflow and run a test to confirm live search results come back correctly.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a paid SerpApi plan to use this integration?
SerpApi requires an account with an API key, and depending on your query volume you may need a paid plan beyond the free tier.
Can I filter results by location?
Yes, the node supports parameters like country codes and language restrictions to target specific regional search results.
Where does the search data go after I retrieve it?
You can pipe the parsed results into downstream logic nodes or store them in a spreadsheet or database as part of the same workflow.
Can I search engines other than Google?
SerpApi supports multiple search engines, and you choose your target engine as part of the node's search operation settings.
