Hi Joseph, thanks for reaching out. Can you share a link to the table you're experiencing this issue with. I made a guide to integrate serper.dev with Clay. Please read through it and see if following these steps will troubleshoot your error: In order to integrate with Serper's APIs you'll need to set up an HTTP API calling the Serper endpoint which you're targeting - in this case the search endpoint. You can follow these steps to implement the Serper integration: 1. Retrieve your Serper API key: Make an account at https://serper.dev/ and retrieve your unique API key: https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/1151942943/b92c6d256ece3eff9074232d/CleanShot+2024-08-20+at+09_17_40%402x.png?expires=1727369100&signature=95c4415d2dbbf9d4a8bf346e3300aa05ba9a68183d345865d3c26c199891beff&req=dSEiF8B6n4hbWvMW1HO4zUXdl4smcInXQfMVkmWbm5J0vg%3D%3D%0A 2. Select playground, then code, and look at the cURL structure - here you'll be able to retrieve your endpoint, your API key, headers and JSON body structure: https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/1151962624/c95edc47e73d262f6c1464c4/CleanShot+2024-08-20+at+09_32_50%402x.png?expires=1727369100&signature=f4ec8602a759a3d9aa1a88dbc5a0ed4e0c657efd003e111a001d37226fcecf53&req=dSEiF8B4n4ddXfMW1HO4zfXi2wtQgKqAhFh8mU74yPP7Rw%3D%3D%0A 3. Set up an HTTP API call column in Clay, and copy the same cURL parameters in your column setup. Here's how you can set up an HTTP API call in Clay. In this specific use case, your HTTP column should look something like this, with your API key included in the header structure: https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/1151965302/fcb3b33a2cdb4c1092992dda/CleanShot+2024-08-20+at+09_34_55%402x.png?expires=1727369100&signature=fc8164289c4dba8dd72578f26d8f4647239e3db564134f1f56f8e7d36e595bce&req=dSEiF8B4mIJfW%2FMW1HO4zVNUC2WVqTf0zwXDjARvF6CwaQ%3D%3D%0A Please note that you'll have to compile your google query using a formula, as you can only input a single dynamic token in the API body. Save and run the column - this should run the column and return your google query results!
