Changelog

1.1.0 (2026-09-23)

  • Markdown output: md (Search API) and searchArchiveMd (Search Archive API), returning the results as token-efficient Markdown for LLMs and AI agents, via the output=md format
  • serpapi.Error is exported from the module root (serpapi.Error.SerpApiError, previously only serpapi.client.Error)
  • serpapi.version is derived from build.zig.zon at build time instead of being duplicated in src/client.zig, so the tag cut by rake release and the version reported to serpapi.com cannot drift apart
  • Fix: persistent connections are actually reused. std.http.Client.fetch leaves the terminating chunk of a compressed, chunked response unread, so it judged every serpapi.com body unfinished and closed the socket: persistent = true was silently a no-op and each request paid for a new TLS handshake. The client now drives the request itself and drains the framing; zig build bench goes from ~2.4s to ~0.5-1.0s for 10 searches (3-4x), where before persistent and non-persistent were within noise
  • Fix: the timeout option is enforced. It was accepted and documented but never applied, so a stalled connection blocked forever. Each request now races a timer on the client's std.Io.Threaded pool and is canceled when it fires, returning error.Timeout; 0 disables the limit
  • Browser wasm demo (demo/wasm): a wasm32-freestanding module for request building and JSON parsing, served by a native proxy (zig build serve) that keeps SERPAPI_KEY off the browser
  • Flight tracker demo (demo/flight_tracker): typed results against the Google Flights API, as a standalone downstream project
  • Fix: one error rule for every decoder. An {"error": "..."} payload is SerpApiError whatever the HTTP status, for JSON, HTML, and Markdown output alike; a non-200 status without such a payload is HttpRequestFailed. Previously html reported error payloads as HttpRequestFailed, and typed decoding (searchAs and friends) could surface an error payload as JsonParseError or, with all-optional fields, as an empty success
  • Fix: html (and any other raw-body decoder) double-freed its response buffer when the backend returned a non-200 status
  • Fix: Search Archive ids are percent-encoded in the request path
  • CI: jobs are time-boxed, the kcov coverage job is advisory (it could hang the runner for six hours), and both demos are built on every push

1.0.0 (2026-08-13)

Initial release, ported from serpapi-ruby.

  • Search API: search (JSON) and html (raw HTML) decoders
  • Location API: location
  • Search Archive API: searchArchive (JSON) and searchArchiveHtml (raw HTML)
  • Account API: account
  • Persistent HTTP connection (keep-alive) enabled by default
  • Zero dependency: Zig standard library only (std.http, std.json)
  • Unit tests, live integration tests, out-of-box testing demo, CI workflow
