Bright Data offers a fast SERP service with a compact JSON response, to power real-time applications in need of search results. To gain access to Bright Data FAST SERP service, please contact your Bright Data account manager.

​
Fast SERP Request

Fast SERP works best with the native proxy interface. If you need a REST API interface for your architecture, one can be provided.
For Fast SERP, both the x-unblock-data-format: parsed_lightrequest header and the brd_json=1 URL parameter are required. Omitting either will result in an unexpected response format.

​
Organic results

Use header value x-unblock-data-format: parsed_fast — this request header will return organic results. 
curl -i --proxy fserp.brd.superproxy.io:33335 \
  --proxy-user brd-customer-<CUSTOMER>-zone-<ZONE>:<PASSWORD> \
  -k \
  -H 'x-unblock-data-format: parsed_fast' \
  "https://www.google.com/search?q=pizza&brd_json=1" \
  > output.json
