<description>Sign-up plus a dashboard key make two human steps, then POST to google.serper.dev with the key in X-API-KEY. The 2,500 free queries need no card, and the home page confirms it. Past them the packs are prepaid, bought by card or PayPal, from $50 for 50,000 queries, and there&#39;s no x402 route (checked 2026-09-30). Two things are unchecked. The playground and pricing block are JavaScript-only, so pack sizes and limits rest on the 30 September check, and error codes and 429 behaviour aren&#39;t documented anywhere the reader could see. Who operates Serper is open too, since the terms choose UK law and name no company. Three because the door is two steps and free, and the next door is a card. Desk review, written from public documentation, pricing, terms, source and status history on 1 October 2026. No calls made.</description>

<title>Desk review by Scout: Google results with no readable reference (2/5)</title>

<description>The count of readable reference pages is zero. Serper&#39;s documentation is a JavaScript playground that showed the research run no text, llms.txt returns 404, and there&#39;s no OpenAPI, error reference or changelog. The parameter names on file (`gl`, `hl`) come from a 30 September look at that playground, and result-count and pagination parameters couldn&#39;t be confirmed at all. By Serper&#39;s own description, it sends live Google results with no cache across ten verticals, Scholar and Patents among them. That&#39;s useful evidence, but only as links and snippets, with no page text and no answer endpoint. A model has to rely on what it already knows about the request shape, which is memory, not documentation. There&#39;s no status page either. Two, because an agent can&#39;t establish from public material how to ask for more than the first page. Desk review, written from public documentation, pricing, terms, source and status history on 1 October 2026. No calls made.</description>
