Features

Up to 100 image results per query

Set the depth param to 10, 20, 50, or 100 to control how many image results come back in a single POST to /v1/serp/google-images. Each result carries its position so you can map exact image SERP rankings.

Thumbnail and source URLs

Every item returns the thumbnail it renders with plus the source page URL where the image lives, so you can crawl back to the host page or display the preview directly.

Image title and domain

Each result includes the image title text and the parsed domain field, making it trivial to group results by site and see which domains own image visibility for a keyword.

Location and language targeting

Pass the location and language fields to fetch image results as they appear for a specific country and locale, since Google Images rankings shift heavily by region.

Result type classification

Every item exposes a type field (e.g. organic) so you can separate standard image results from other blocks Google injects into the image grid.

Google Images SERP API — track image search rankings programmatically

The YepAPI Google Images SERP API returns live Google Image search results for any query as structured JSON. Instead of scraping the image grid yourself, you send a query and get back ranked items with thumbnail URLs, source page URLs, titles, and domains.

It runs on the same key that covers the rest of YepAPI — organic SERP, news, maps, web scraping, and AI endpoints — so you can pair image rankings with web ranking data in one workflow at $0.01 per query.

What is a Google Images API?

A Google Images API lets you programmatically query Google Image search and get structured results back instead of an HTML page of thumbnails. For each image it returns the thumbnail URL, the source page URL it links to, the image title, and the host domain, along with the position it holds in the grid. That means you can answer questions like which images rank for a keyword, which domains dominate image search, and where a specific asset sits — all from a single POST request rather than a headless browser session rendering the visual results page.

Build your own image SEO tool

With ranked image data as JSON you can build an image-SEO rank tracker, a reverse-visibility monitor, or a visual content research tool. Loop your target keywords through the endpoint, store each item's position and domain, and chart how your assets move over time. Because the response includes source URLs you can join image rankings to page-level data from the YepAPI organic SERP endpoint and see whether image visibility tracks with overall ranking for the same query.

Google Images API pricing — $0.01 per query

Every call to /v1/serp/google-images costs a flat $0.01, whether you pull the top 10 or the full 100 image results. There are no monthly minimums and no per-seat licensing. Competing services charge $0.05 per query (SerpApi) or fold image data into enterprise SEO suites at far higher effective rates. With YepAPI you pay only for the queries you run, and the same per-call price applies across every SERP engine on the platform.

Monitor brand and visual content in image search

Image search is where product photos, infographics, and brand assets compete. Use the endpoint to watch which of your images surface for commercial keywords, spot competitors outranking you in the grid, and find the image formats winning visibility in your niche. Run the same query with different location and language values to see how image rankings differ across markets, then prioritize the assets and alt text worth optimizing.
