Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from teams considering HasData for production scraping.
HasData gives 1,000 credits every month with no card required, and the allowance renews on the same date each month. Unused credits do not carry over. SerpApi's free plan gives 250 searches a month.
Yes. Start with 1,000 free credits and run HasData against the exact keywords and locations you track today. For larger stress tests, contact us. We can extend the trial to match your current SerpApi plan so you can benchmark at real volume before moving.
On entry monthly plans, 1,000 full Google SERP requests cost $2.95 with HasData versus $25 with SerpApi. Both figures assume the full monthly allocation is used. HasData credits also cover Maps, Amazon and web scraping, so you can mix data sources within one subscription.
Yes. The request shape is similar: engine=google maps to the Google SERP API endpoint, and q, location, gl, and hl carry over. The response is structured JSON with organic results, ads, and related questions, so most parsers need only field-name updates.
You don't pay for it. Only successful requests consume credits, and HasData retries on its own, so the extraction usually completes even if the first attempt runs into issues.
Yes. Public plans reach 20,000,000 credits a month, which covers 2,000,000 full SERP requests or 4,000,000 Light requests, with up to 500 concurrent requests. Custom plans scale beyond that. Each request returns in 1.7s at the median, measured on production traffic.
No. Alongside SERP, Maps, News, Images, and YouTube endpoints, HasData scrapes any URL through the Web Scraping API with JS rendering and residential proxies, and ships no-code scrapers for Amazon, Zillow, Glassdoor, and more. SerpApi covers search pages only.
Yes. Share the website URL and the exact fields you need, and our team will scope and build the scraper. Clear sources and target lists move the work faster than open-ended briefs.
