How to Use SearchCans Dual-Engine API

This Python example demonstrates the complete workflow of using SearchCans API services. Both APIs use POST requests with JSON payloads. First, use the SERP API to search Google for "AI Agents" with parameters: ‘s’ for search query, ‘t’ for engine type (google), and ‘d’ for timeout. Then, extract the first URL from the results and use the Reader API with parameters: ‘s’ for source URL, ‘t’ for type (url), and ‘b’ for browser rendering to convert that webpage into clean, LLM-ready Markdown format. This is the typical workflow for AI agents, RAG systems, and LLM applications that need to search and process web content programmatically.

The code shows proper authentication using Bearer tokens with API_KEY variable, HEADERS constant for reusability, JSON request body configuration, and JSON response handling. SearchCans provides both APIs at an affordable price of $0.56 per 1,000 requests, making it 10x cheaper than alternatives like SerpApi and Firecrawl.

SERP API + Reader API Dual Engine for AI & LLM Applications
