SerpAPI too expensive? NestDaddy Search API delivers web search results at a fraction of the cost. 7-day free trial.
Why Developers Are Switching from SerpAPI
SerpAPI is good. The documentation is solid, the results are accurate, and the API is reliable. But at $75/month for just 5,000 searches, it gets expensive fast — especially for side projects, startups, or apps that need high volume.
NestDaddy Search API covers the same use case: clean JSON web search results, pagination, language filters, date sorting. The difference is price. At $9.99/month for 10,000 requests, you get twice the volume for less than 15% of the cost.
No scraping tricks, no proxy juggling. Just a REST endpoint that returns structured search results.

Quick Start — Same Code, Lower Bill
Drop-in replacement. Change the endpoint and API key, nothing else.
Python
import requests
# NestDaddy Search API
url = "https://nestdaddy.com/api/search"
params = {
"q": "python web scraping",
"lang": "en",
"sort": "date", # relevance or date
"page": 1
}
headers = {"X-API-Key": "your_api_key"}
response = requests.get(url, params=params, headers=headers)
results = response.json()
for item in results["results"]:
print(item["title"], item["url"])
Results come from the same underlying web index. For most use cases — building search into your app, powering a chatbot, scraping competitor data — the quality is comparable. SerpAPI has more advanced options for Google-specific SERP features (ads, shopping, maps). NestDaddy focuses on clean organic results.
Mostly yes. The response structure is slightly different (field names) but the concept is identical: send a query, get back a list of results with title, URL, and snippet. Migration takes an hour at most.
Requests return a 429 response. You can upgrade mid-month or wait for your billing cycle to reset. No surprise overage charges.
