Setup

1. Create a SerpApi account: Sign up at https://serpapi.com/users/sign_up. The free plan includes a monthly allowance of searches, which is enough for testing.
2. Copy your private API key: Open https://serpapi.com/manage-api-key and copy the private API key shown for your account.
3. Store the key: Set the key as SERPAPI_API_KEY. You can verify it works by opening https://serpapi.com/search?engine=google&q=coffee&api_key=YOUR_KEY in a browser and checking that JSON results come back.

• SerpApi authenticates by passing the API key as an api_key query parameter on every request (https://serpapi.com/search?engine=google&q=…&api_key=…); it does not accept the key in an HTTP header.
• Each request consumes one search from your plan; the engine parameter selects the result type (google, google_news, google_maps, google_shopping, and more).
