questions

FAQ

Do I need a Custom Search engine?
No. google.fetcher.sh returns Google web results as JSON. You do not create a CX id, a Cloud project, or a programmable search engine.
Is this SerpAPI?
No. SerpAPI is a separate SERP product with its own account and dashboard. This host is one Google web GET on google.fetcher.sh, paid like every other fetcher.sh path.
Do I need an official developer account?
No. fetcher.sh is not the official Twitter, YouTube, or Google API. You do not register an app, complete OAuth, or wait for platform review. Call a URL; data comes back as JSON.
Is there a monthly minimum or subscription?
No. There is no monthly plan, no seat fee, and no minimum volume. Pay per call from $0.002. Credits never expire. A $1 credit top-up is only if you want a prepaid API key instead of paying each call.
Can I pay for a single request?
Yes. Call any endpoint with no credential and pay that one request in USDC via x402. No account, no invoice, no leftover plan.

docs

Top up once — then hammer all 1 endpoints with one key

One x402 payment funds a credit balance. Every call after that is a plain Bearer request: no signing, no chain round-trip, more requests per second. The same balance works on every fetcher.sh service.
