I see that you are using value serp in batch.. how much time does it take to scrape the serp data of 500 queries? I made this last month but value serp just takes a lot of time to get the serp data..

It took me 5-7 seconds to scrape 550 keywords.

Are you using ValueSERP Batch API or making single query calls to the API?

Yeah I am making single calls, I think that’s why it is slow. I will try batch api, thanks for sharing. But if it is so fast then it makes serpapi.com very expensive. We have serpapi at our company so I didn’t bother to dig deeper into batch api of value serp. It looks like we can save a lot of money now :)

My code contains the code to make batches, so it will be fast. You still pay the same per keyword. Initially I was using the single calls, and it was very slow. Batch API changed the game for me.

Unfortunately I don't have tried out serpapi. I've been happy with ValueSERP and didn't wanna write code again for new API lol.

Also they charge $15 for 1000 keywords while ValueSERP is $2.5 for 1000 keywords.

I provide two methods in the API. You can think of Soft method as Centroid and Hard method as Agglomerative.
