The data
A search result is useful when you can trace both the question and the source it surfaced. The web-search operation returns titles, links and snippets for a query; news, images and maps use separate result shapes. Store your query, requested market settings and collection time with each batch before comparing results over time. A returned position belongs to that observed result set, not to a permanent global ranking. Monocrawl gives your application structured JSON through one key, so it can build a research queue or source-backed answer without copying a search page by hand.
Retrieve public pages matching a query with source URLs and returned positions.
