Scraping for SEO, search engines, and rank tracking.
How to scrape Google search suggestions for keyword research: the live autocomplete endpoints re-checked on 13 August 2026, what gl and hl actually change, a Python collector with retry and budget, and tool prices read from vendor pages.
What still works for scraping Google after num=100 died in September 2025 and Search began requiring JavaScript in January 2025: URL parameters, pagination arithmetic, and proxy and SERP API prices read from vendor pages on 13 August 2026.
Google Trends scraping checked on 13 August 2026: pytrends is archived and its retry path raises TypeError, three trending endpoints return 404, plus the alpha API, the free RSS feed and priced commercial options.
What replaced the Crawl Errors report after Google retired it, how the Page indexing report, URL Inspection and Crawl stats divide the work, and where Search Console data stops: the 1,000-row cap, the 16-month window, and the September 2025 impressions recalibration.
How a keyword scraper collects, cleans and clusters queries into a set mapped to pages: what SERP-overlap grouping costs per 10,000 keywords, vendor prices read on 13 August 2026, and what Google removing &num=100 in September 2025 did and did not change.
Search volume sources rechecked in August 2026: what Keyword Planner still hides, why match types do not filter volume, Google Ads API rate limits, and verified per-1,000-keyword prices.
Rank tracking after Google withdrew num=100: verified August 2026 prices for SERP APIs and hosted trackers, why a top-100 check now costs 7.75 times more, and the depth the trackers quietly dropped.
Crawl every page for title tags, meta descriptions and H1-H6, then read the table correctly: Google rewrote 61.6% of titles in one study and 62.78% of meta descriptions in another. Tool prices checked 13 August 2026, plus four bugs in the ten-line Python version.
What SEO scraping covers in 2026: keyword harvesting, site crawls, rank tracking, SERP collection and AI-answer visibility, with tool prices read on 13 August 2026 and the quota that stops each one.
