This page covers how to use the SerpAPI search APIs within LangChain. It is broken into two parts: installation and setup, and then references to the specific SerpAPI wrapper.

​
Installation and Setup

  • Install requirements with pip install google-search-results
  • Get a SerpAPI api key and either set it as an environment variable (SERPAPI_API_KEY)

​
Wrappers

​
Utility

There exists a SerpAPI utility which wraps this API. To import this utility: 
from langchain_community.utilities import SerpAPIWrapper
For a more detailed walkthrough of this wrapper, see this notebook.

​
Tool

You can also easily load this wrapper as a Tool (to use with an Agent). You can do this with: 
from langchain_community.agent_toolkits.load_tools import load_tools
tools = load_tools(["serpapi"])
