DataForSEO SERP API

Provenance

This is an experimental project to test how OpenCode, plugged into frontier LLMs (OpenAI GPT-5.2), can help generate high-fidelity agent skill files for API integrations.

When to Apply

• "track keyword rankings", "rank tracking", "SERP monitoring"
• "get Google SERP", "Bing SERP", "YouTube SERP", "localized SERP"
• "compare SERP by country/city", "location-based SERP", "language-based SERP"
• "SERP features", "local pack", "news results", "images results"
• "SERP screenshot", "SERP HTML", "SERP snapshot"
• "build an SEO dashboard", "SERP alerts", "SERP volatility"

Integration Contract (Language-Agnostic)

See references/REFERENCE.md for the shared DataForSEO integration contract (auth, status handling, task lifecycle, sandbox, and.ai responses).

Implementation Expectations (for the agent)

1. Choose the exact SERP endpoint family (Google/Bing/YouTube/etc.) and the result format (Regular/Advanced/HTML) from the docs.
2. Collect required inputs:

- query/keyword - location + language (when applicable) - device, depth, and any optional SERP modifiers

1. Decide Live vs Task-based flow.
2. Execute HTTP request(s) with Basic Auth.
3. Validate status_code and return:

- a normalized, compact result for the user - the raw response payload for debugging

Steps

1. Identify the exact endpoint(s) in the official docs for this use case.
2. Choose execution mode:

- Live (single request) for interactive queries - Task-based (post + poll/webhook) for scheduled or high-volume jobs

1. Build the HTTP request:

- Base URL: https://api.dataforseo.com/ - Auth: HTTP Basic (Authorization: Basic base64(login:password)) from https://docs.dataforseo.com/v3/auth/ - JSON body exactly as specified in the endpoint docs

1. Execute and validate the response:

- Check top-level status_code and each tasks[] item status - Treat any status_code!= 20000 as a failure; surface status_message

1. For task-based endpoints:

- Store tasks[].id - Poll tasks_ready then fetch results with task_get (or use postback_url/pingback_url if supported)

1. Return results:

- Provide a normalized summary for the user - Include the raw response payload for debugging

Inputs Checklist

• Credentials: DataForSEO API login + password (HTTP Basic Auth)
• Target: keyword(s) / domain(s) / URL(s) / query string (depends on endpoint)
• Targeting (if applicable): location + language, device, depth/limit
• Time window (if applicable): date range, trend period, historical flags
• Output preference: regular vs advanced vs html (if the endpoint supports it)

Example (cURL)

curl -u "${DATAFORSEO_LOGIN}:${DATAFORSEO_PASSWORD}"   -H "Content-Type: application/json"   -X POST "https://api.dataforseo.com/v3/<group>/<path>/live"   -d '[
    {
      "<param>": "<value>"
    }
  ]'

Notes:

• Replace <group>/<path> with the exact endpoint path from the official docs.
• For task-based flows, use the corresponding task_post, tasks_ready, and task_get endpoints.
