  • This documentation is valid for:

With this Public Tool, you can run searches across Google engines, including Google, Google Maps, Google News, Google Images, Google Videos, and Google Scholar:

com.globant.geai.serpapi_google_search

By default, the standard Google engine is used. You can specify a different engine in the Agent Guidelines or let end users define it at runtime.

Before using the Tool, you must obtain an API key from SerpAPI and register it as a Secret in your Project.

Configuration steps

  1. Go to https://serpapi.com/ and sign in. Then generate or locate your API key, and copy it.
  2. In Console, open the Project where you will use this Tool and create a new Secret. Follow How to create a Secret.
    • In the Name field, enter a descriptive name (for example, serpapi_api_token). You will reference this name in the api_key parameter of the Tool.
    • In the Value field, paste your SerpAPI API key string.
  3. Confirm to save the Secret.

You can configure the Tool Parameters in either of the following ways:

  • From the Integrations Dashboard, open the SerpAPI Web Integration and go to the Tool Parameters tab. There, complete:

    • api_key: Name of the Secret that stores the SerpAPI API key (for example, serpapi_api_token).

    SerpAPI_2026_01

  • Or, when adding the Tool from the AI & Tools Tab inside an Agent. If the Integration has not been configured yet, the Tool panel will display the required fields so you can define:

    • api_key

SerpAPI1_2026_01

In both cases, api_key is defined as a Secret parameter and must reference the name of the Secret that stores the SerpAPI API key string.
