SerpApi Weekly Changelog: Sep 21–27, 2026

# What changed this week

SerpApi released a mix of new functionality, small feature tweaks, performance improvements, and bug fixes for the week of Sep 21–27, 2026. The largest addition is a focused eBay Seller API that exposes seller profiles and complete product listings. Several Google-related APIs also received stability and parsing fixes that affect how search results and AI overviews are returned.

# New API: eBay Seller API

The eBay Seller API scrapes an eBay seller page by seller_id. The response includes seller profile fields such as name, follower count, positive feedback percentage, items sold, and total listings. It also returns the seller's product listings with price, original price, and stock signals when present. Where available, featured categories, the seller "About" section, and feedback are included.

# Google API fixes and improvements

Several Google APIs were adjusted to produce more consistent outputs:

• Google Search API: added see_whats_in_store to knowledge_graph.
• Fixed an issue where the calculator answer_box was not parsed on some layouts.
• Fixed misclassification of other carousels inside ai_overview that had been returned as top_stories.
• Restored favicon presence in organic_results where it was missing.
• Fixed cases where organic_results[].about_page_link sometimes contained /goto URLs.

# Query and performance improvements

SerpApi reduced intermittent timeouts for searches that use advanced operators such as site:, filetype:, intitle:, and AND/OR. This improvement also applies to the Google Light Search API, so queries that rely on those advanced operators should be more reliable.

Response time and success rate improvements were also applied to Google Jobs API and Google News API, improving reliability for those endpoints.

# About This Result and Pixel Position updates

# Other notes

The changelog lists a broad roster of supported APIs and search engines that SerpApi maintains, covering many Google endpoints and multiple third-party platforms. The week's updates focus on filling gaps in parsed outputs, reducing timeouts for operator-heavy queries, and connecting product and seller data on eBay for cross-navigation between listing and seller views.

# How this affects users

• If you rely on eBay seller-level data or need a seller's full catalog, the new eBay Seller API provides a direct way to gather that information and link to product-level results.
• If your tooling parses Google search results or AI Overviews, expect more consistent parsing of calculator answer boxes, carousels, favicons, and about-page links.
• Queries using advanced search operators should see fewer intermittent timeouts, improving batch or automated scraping jobs.
