• Node.js
• Bun
• Deno (with the npm: specifier)

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

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 file.

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 are returned. Use the resultTypes option to customize the output.
