The Data score on SERP APIs: Out of 100: how much of Google's results page the call returns. For each search, we count the parts of the page: each result, each ad, each other part like People also ask and Related searches, and each field inside them. We count a part as held when the answer has it. A value that differs from the page counts as missing. We take the share of parts held in each search and average them. Each search weighs the same. A search that found no results counts as 0. Google blocks our own requests, so we check each answer against the copy of the page its own provider fetched for the same search. Some calls don't send back a Google page with their answer. We check those answers against the pages other calls fetched for that search within 10 minutes. For that call's results and ads, we use the page that shares the most results with its answer. We count no more results than that page shows. For that call's other parts, like People also ask, we use whichever page matches that part best. We don't count a search for that call when no other call fetched a page for it within 10 minutes. Google's page differs from one fetch to the next, even when two fetches are less than 10 minutes apart. So a result on one page can be missing from another. A part counts for every call on a search when any provider's page shows it. It also counts when any call's answer has it. We leave out fields the provider works out or adds, like positions, domains, tokens and details about the search itself. We don't judge which results Google picked. A provider called on fewer searches is set against how the others did on those same searches, so an easier few don't lift it. ## Every SERP API provider we score, ranked 1.
