# OpenSERP

OpenSERP is the free, open-source, self-hosted SERP API. Get structured search results from Google, Bing, Yandex, Baidu, DuckDuckGo and Ecosia through one REST interface, then use the official managed version OpenSERP Cloud at https://api.openserp.org when a hosted API is preferred. This is the machine-readable index for the project.

## Project Status
- OpenSERP OSS (self-hosted REST API + CLI, MIT-licensed) - available now. Free, no API keys, no rate limits. The recommended starting point for developers, researchers, and self-hosters.
- OpenSERP Cloud (managed hosted API at https://api.openserp.org) - available now, pay-as-you-go credits ($0.009 per 10 returned web results by default), no subscription, no monthly minimum.
- OpenSERP is positioned as the open-source alternative to paid SERP API providers (SerpApi, Serper, Scale SERP, etc.). Use the OSS version free, or use OpenSERP Cloud when self-hosting is not preferred.
- `/dashboard/*` (account, keys, top-up, search playground, balance, status) is intentionally excluded from indexing and requires authentication.
