qstringrequiredParameter defines the query you want to search. You can use anything that you would use in a regular Google search. e.g. `inurl:`, `site:`, `intitle:`. We also support advanced search query parameters such as `as_dt` and `as_eq`. See the full list of supported advanced search query parameters. `site:` can't be used with `tbm` set to `nws`.
locationstringParameter defines from where you want the search to originate. If several locations match the location requested, we'll pick the most popular one. Head to the /locations.json API if you need more precise control. It is recommended to specify `location` at the city level in order to simulate a real user’s search. If `location` is omitted, the search may take on the location of the proxy. When only the `location` parameter is set, Google may still take into account the proxy’s country, which can influence some results. For more consistent country-specific filtering, use the `gl` parameter alongs
uulestringParameter is the Google encoded location you want to use for the search. `uule` and `location` parameters can't be used together. For consistent results with coordinates-based `uule` parameter, a matching `gl` parameter is required. Head to UULE Generator if you need to convert a location or GPS coordinates to `uule` parameter, and vice versa. The radius of a coordinates-based `uule` is not used.
latstringParameter defines a GPS latitude for the search origin. Parameter is required when using `lon` parameter. For consistent results, a matching `gl` parameter is required. Parameter can't be used together with `location` and `uule` parameters.
lonstringParameter defines a GPS longitude for the search origin. Parameter is required when using `lat` parameter. For consistent results, a matching `gl` parameter is required. Parameter can't be used together with `location` and `uule` parameters.
radiusstringParameter defines the distance (in meters) within which to bias the search results. Results inside of this region will be ranked higher than results outside of it. However, prominent results from outside of the search radius may still be included. Value range per `device`: - Desktop: `1..199` - Tablet: `1..1000` - Mobile: `1..1000` Parameter can be used alongside `location` or `lat`/`lon` parameters. When parameter is paired with `location`, its center point coordinates are used for the search.
ludocidstringParameter defines the Google CID (customer identifier) of a place. This parameter can be found in Google Search API and Google Local API local results under the name of `place_id`, as well as in Google Maps API local results under the name of `data_cid`. You can also acquire it using Google's CID converter.
lsigstringParameter that you might have to use to force the knowledge graph map view to show up. You can find the `lsig` ID by using our Local Pack API or Google Local API. `lsig` ID is also available via a redirect Google uses within Google My Business.
kgmidstringParameter defines the id (`KGMID`) of the Google Knowledge Graph listing you want to scrape. Also known as Google Knowledge Graph ID. Searches with `kgmid` parameter will return results for the originally encrypted search parameters. For some searches, `kgmid` may override all other parameters except `start` parameter.
sistringParameter defines the cached search parameters of the Google Search you want to scrape. Searches with `si` parameter will return results for the originally encrypted search parameters. For some searches, `si` may override all other parameters except `startsi` can be used to scrape Google Knowledge Graph Tabs.
ibpstringParameter is responsible for rendering layouts and expansions for some elements (e.g., `gwp;0,7` to expand searches with `ludocid` for expanded knowledge graph).
udsstringParameter enables to filter search. It's a string provided by Google as a filter. `uds` values are provided under the section: `filters` with `uds`, `q` and `the API_link` values provided for each filter.

Possible values: light, dark
google_domainstringParameter defines the Google domain to use. It defaults to `google.com`. Head to the Google domains page for a full list of supported Google domains.

Head to the Google countries page for a full list of supported Google countries. When `location` is set, it defaults to the country of the location.
hlstringParameter defines the language to use for the Google search. It's a two or three-letter language code. (e.g., `en` for English, `es` for Spanish, or `fr` for French), optionally followed by a two-letter or three-digit region code (e.g., `en-gb` for British English, or `es-419` for Latin American Spanish). Head to the Google languages page for a full list of supported Google languages.
crstringParameter defines one or multiple countries to limit the search to. It uses `country{two-letter upper-case country code}` to specify countries and `|` as a delimiter. (e.g., `countryFR|countryDE` will only search French and German pages). Head to the Google cr countries page for a full list of supported countries.
lrstringParameter defines one or multiple languages to limit the search to. It uses `lang_{two-letter language code}` to specify languages and `|` as a delimiter.

safestringParameter defines the level of filtering for adult content. It can be set to `active` or `off`, by default Google will blur explicit content.
nfprstringParameter defines the exclusion of results from an auto-corrected query when the original query is spelled wrong.
