Show HN: SERP and Reader API (from $0.56/1k). No monthly subscriptions (www.searchcans.com)

SearchCans has launched its dual-engine SERP and Reader APIs, offering real-time SEO competitor analysis at an astonishingly low cost of $0.56 per 1,000 requests, which is 18 times cheaper than alternatives like SerpApi. The SERP API allows users to query Google search results efficiently, while the Reader API transforms web pages into clean, structured Markdown format, making them ready for integration with large language models (LLMs). This cost-effective solution enables AI developers to create automated systems for extracting web content and insights, reinforcing the growing demand for accessible AI tools. The APIs are designed with ease of use in mind, featuring simple POST requests with JSON payloads and a robust authentication system using Bearer tokens. Additionally, the platform boasts low latency, with average response times under 1.5 seconds, ensuring prompt access to information. The ability to seamlessly integrate with popular frameworks like LangChain and LlamaIndex further positions SearchCans as a valuable resource for AI agents and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems. With the offer of 100 free credits for new users, this launch not only lowers financial barriers but also encourages innovative applications in the AI/ML landscape.
