SearchApi
Broadest engine coverage of the SERP specialists here (Google, Bing, Baidu, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, Yandex, Naver, YouTube, Maps, Flights, Hotels, plus marketplace and ad-library endpoints) at $4 per 1,000 on the $40 entry plan, falling to $1 per 1,000 at 5M searches. The catch is that nothing about overage, hard caps, or credit rollover is published: those three fields are null here because SearchApi does not print them. Only HTTP 200 responses are billed. htmlOutput is marked false because the site advertises JSON extraction only and does not state a raw-HTML mode; asyncBatch is null because 'High Throughput' is advertised without a stated batch endpoint.
