Google and Bing result pages cost the same 25 credits. The locations and result types recorded here are those of Google.
TLD Country of Google domain to scrape. This is an optional argument and defaults to “com” (google.com). Valid values include: com (google.com) co.uk (google.co.uk) ca (google.ca) de (google.de) es (google.es) fr (google.fr) it (google.it) co.jp (google.co.jp)
in (google.in) cn (google.cn) com.sg (google.com.sg) com.mx (google.com.mx) ae (google.ae) com.br (google.com.br) nl (google.nl) com.au (google.com.au) com.tr (google.com.tr) sa (google.sa) se (google.se) pl (google.pl)
GL Boosts matches whose country of origin matches the parameter value. For example: DE
How the value follows from the source: The country Google domains listed for tld, as ISO codes; com is not tied to one country.
The list says "valid values include". gl boosts results from a country; country_code sets the request country (individual countries from the Business plan up).
ScraperAPI will return the search result page and its features in JSON or CSV format, including ads, people also ask questions, organic results, related searches, videos, and more.
