Change the base URL
# Before (SerpApi)
GET https://serpapi.com/search?q=...&api_key=...
# After (RawSerp)
POST https://api.rawserp.com/v1/search
Authorization: Bearer sk-rawserp-XXXXXXXXXXXXRename two response fields
organic_results → organic, and organic_results[].link → organic[].url. Everything else maps cleanly.
Markdown is built in
Every result already carries a markdown field — there's no extra parameter to set. Read organic[].markdown and drop it straight into your prompt.
Simple monthly plans
No metering math: pick a plan whose monthly quota covers your volume, start with a 7-day free trial, and cancel anytime.
