Simple & Fast Package for scraping Google search results without the need for an API key. 🚀

# Features

- No API key is needed 🔑
- First-party TypeScript support
- [Customizable selectors](https://github.com/typicalninja/google-sr/blob/master/apps/examples/src/custom-selector.ts) 🔍
- [Well tested 🔄](#tests)
- [Supports multiple runtimes](#runtime-support)

# Install 📦

### Runtime Support

`google-sr` does not support web environments, but it has been tested and confirmed to work on the following runtimes:

- [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en)
- [Bun](https://bun.sh/)
- [Deno](https://deno.com/)

To get started, you can install **google-sr** using your preferred package manager:

```bash
npm install google-sr
# For pnpm/yarn/bun:
pnpm/yarn/bun add google-sr
# For Deno, either use the npm: specifier
# or import from esm.sh
# https://esm.sh/google-sr
```

# Usage

This example demonstrates some of the features of `google-sr`. For a bare minimum setup, refer to the [examples/basic](https://github.com/typicalninja/google-sr/blob/master/apps/examples/src/basic.ts) file.

```ts
import {
  search,
  OrganicResult, // Import the result types you need
  DictionaryResult,
  ResultTypes, // Import to filter results by type
} from "google-sr";

const queryResult = await search({
  query: "nodejs",
  // Specify the result types explicitly ([OrganicResult] is the default, but it is recommended to always specify the result type)
  resultTypes: [OrganicResult, DictionaryResult],
  // Optional: Customize the request using AxiosRequestConfig (e.g., enabling safe search)
  requestConfig: {
    params: {
      safe: "active",   // Enable "safe mode"
    },
  },
});

// will return a SearchResult[]
console.log(queryResult);
console.log(queryResult[0].type === ResultTypes.OrganicResult); // true
```

> Note: By default, only results of type [`ResultTypes.OrganicResult`](https://typicalninja.github.io/google-sr/variables/google-sr_src.ResultTypes.html) are returned. Use the [`resultTypes`](https://typicalninja.github.io/google-sr/interfaces/google-sr_src.SearchOptions.html#resulttypes) option to customize the output.
