What does the SerpAPI Search action do in SerpAPI?

Runs a search query against Google, Bing, Yahoo, DDG, Yandex, Baidu, or specialty verticals (Maps, Shopping, News, Scholar). Returns structured SERP data — organic results, knowledge graph, people-also-ask, ads.

What inputs does SerpAPI Search require?

Required: Query. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.

Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?

Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.

What happens if SerpAPI returns an error?

The workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.

Does SerpAPI Search support batch operations?

Yes. Run SerpAPI Search inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles SerpAPI's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
