Unfortunately, the Starter plan isn't sufficient for using the Serper HTTP API. You'll need an Explorer plan to access this functionality. The Serper integration allows you to scrape search results, which can be useful for generating prospect lists or tracking SEO performance. To set this up, you'll need to: 1. Upgrade to an Explorer plan 2. Create a Serper account and get your API key 3. Set up an HTTP API call column in Clay If you need more details on the setup process or have any JSON-related issues, please share the specific JSON you're working with so we can troubleshoot further.

in the serper API, will it search the entire internet for my query or would I have to hard code it to search a particular section . I want it to simulate google search.
The Serper API simulates Google search, so it will search the entire internet for your query, just like a regular Google search would. You don't need to hard code it to search a specific section. Serper delivers fast Google search results in 1-2 seconds, allowing you to scrape search results at scale. This means you can use it to get comprehensive results from across the web, similar to what you'd see in a standard Google search. If you encounter any JSON-related issues while setting up the API call, please share the specific JSON you're working with so we can troubleshoot further.
Serper.dev works the same way as Google; whatever Google can do, Serper.dev can do as well.
