Can SerpApi return the full text of a news article?

No. Search results pages only carry the headline and metadata, so that is what SerpApi can return. To get the article text you would have to fetch and parse every URL yourself. APITube returns the full article body in every response, already cleaned and structured.

When is SerpApi the better choice?

When your goal is the search engine itself: tracking rankings, ads, or results across Google, Bing, YouTube, and other engines. If your goal is news content at scale — full text, filters, enrichment, streaming — a news API is the right tool.

How many news sources do you cover?

We cover over 300,000 news websites and blogs.

Can I use API content on my platform or website?

We do not own the copyright to the article content.

Can I switch to a different plan?

You can switch plans at any time during the month.

How do I cancel my subscription?

To unsubscribe, go to your settings page and click the Unsubscribe button. Your account stays active and your credits remain available.

How do I connect to the API?

You can call the APITube API directly using REST, or use the Python/Java/Javascript/PHP/Kotlin/Swift and more. See the documentation page for how to make API requests.

What filters can I use?

Use 65+ filters alongside keywords. Narrow results by publication date, topic, language, source, country, and more.
