About Openserp
OpenSERP is a search results API that returns structured JSON from six engines: Google, Bing, Yandex, Baidu, DuckDuckGo and Ecosia. It began in 2023 as a personal scraper and remains an MIT licensed open source project that can be self hosted with a single Docker command. OpenSERP Cloud is the managed version, with hosted keys, a dashboard and billing, using the same data model so code moves between the two without changes.
The API covers web and image search, a Megasearch mode that queries several engines and merges deduplicated results, and URL extraction that turns pages into clean text or markdown. Responses include organic ranks and SERP features such as AI summaries, answer boxes, people also ask and related searches. A separate Search Monitor schedules rank checks across Google, Bing and Yandex, tracks competitors and produces AI written reports. SDKs, an MCP server and an n8n integration use the same response format.
The product is aimed at developers grounding AI agents and language model answers with live search results, SEO teams tracking rankings, and anyone collecting search data in pipelines.
