SerpApi wouldn't even be a thing if Google offered an equivalent API...

why does google need to offer it?

  • Because Google scrapes other site's data to build its AI market dominance in Gemini. The promise of web 2.0 was APIs, Google aims to cement its position in web 4.0 while suing others for doing what it does on a mass scale.

    Adversarial Interoperability is Digital Human Right. Either companies can provide it reasonably or the people will assert their rights through other means.

Why would Google offer an API? This is similar to saying when Apple sues an employee stealing IP "Nobody would steal the IP if they gave it away for free". The question is - why?
