SearchApi

SearchApi Account & Analytics API

The two account-management endpoints SearchApi documents alongside its SERP surface. GET /api/v1/me returns the calling key's monthly allowance, month-to-date usage, remaining credits, searches made in the current hour and the hourly rate limit. GET /api/v1/search_analytics returns aggregated success rate, error rate and latency for the account's own searches, bucketed daily or hourly and optionally filtered to a single engine. These are the only endpoints exposing runtime quota and reliability signal — SearchApi returns no rate-limit response headers, so polling /api/v1/me is the sole machine-readable view of remaining headroom.
