Fast Images Search Request

Fast SERP for Google Images works best with the native proxy interface. If you need a REST API interface for your architecture, one can be provided.

Both the x-unblock-data-format: parsed_light request header and the brd_json=1 URL parameter are required. Omitting either will result in an unexpected response format.

Native proxy request

curl -i --proxy fserp.brd.superproxy.io:33335 \
  --proxy-user brd-customer-<CUSTOMER>-zone-<ZONE>:<PASSWORD> \
  -k \
  -H 'x-unblock-data-format: parsed_light' \
  "https://www.google.com/search?q=pizza&udm=2&brd_json=1"
