Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the goog.io | Unofficial Google Search API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the goog.io | Unofficial Google Search API, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.

Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.

Step 1: Jentic One Host machine

# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Fgoog.io%2Fgoog" | sh

Step 2: Agent machine

# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Fgoog.io%2Fgoog" | sh
jentic register       # connects your agent to your Jentic One instance

Jentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use goog.io | Unofficial Google Search API for, with concrete tasks.

★ SEO Rank Tracking

SEO teams pull Google SERPs for tracked keywords daily and write the results into a dashboard. POST /v1/serp/ returns the structured SERP, and the country and language parameters let teams track rank changes per market in one job.

Call POST /v1/serp/ for the keyword 'best crm API' in the US and UK markets and store the top 10 organic positions.

News Monitoring

Brand and competitive teams call /v1/news/{query} every hour for tracked terms, dedupe results, and feed them into a Slack channel. The infrastructure handles the proxy and IP rotation problem that makes do-it-yourself Google scraping fragile.

Pull /v1/news/competitor-name every 30 minutes and post any article from the last hour into the #news channel.

Lead Research Crawling

Sales and BD teams crawl Google for prospect-related queries and feed the result into an enrichment pipeline. /v1/crawl/{query} returns clean USA-IP results, which avoids the captchas and IP bans that DIY scrapers hit at scale.

For each prospect company in the CRM, crawl '{company} pricing' and store the top 5 result URLs.

AI Research Agent via Jentic

An AI research agent uses goog.io as its 'fresh web' tool through Jentic. The agent searches Jentic for a Google search operation, loads the schema, and executes - Jentic injects the apikey header so the agent only handles the query, country, and language.

Search Google for the user's question, take the top 5 organic URLs, and pass them to a downstream summarisation step.

Why Jentic?

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.

Setup

Wiring goog.io by hand means passing the apikey header against api.goog.io, scoping to one subscription, and mapping the web, image, news, crawl, and SERP retrieval endpoints yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import goog.io from the API Directory, store the apikey once, and your agent calls it.

Permission scoping

goog.io carries the query in the URL path segment rather than a persistent resource id, so scope the agent to the operations it needs, such as web search or image search. You choose the operations it may call, so ones like the crawl endpoint or the SERP POST are not included unless you add them.

Credential isolation

Your goog.io apikey is stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected at execution time. It never enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'google web search' or 'search for news', and Jentic returns the matching goog.io operation with its parameter schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without reading the reference.

FAQs

Specific to using goog.io | Unofficial Google Search API through Jentic.

Why is there no official OpenAPI spec for goog.io | Unofficial Google Search API?

goog.io does not publish an OpenAPI specification. Jentic generates and maintains this spec so that AI agents and developers can call goog.io | Unofficial Google Search API via structured tooling. It is validated against the live API and kept up to date. Get started with Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer.

What authentication does the goog.io API use?

goog.io uses an apiKey scheme on the apikey header. Through Jentic the key is stored encrypted in the vault and scoped to your goog.io subscription, so the raw key never enters the agent's context.

Can I run a Google SERP query with goog.io?

Yes. POST /v1/serp/ accepts a query and optional country, language, and locality parameters and returns the structured SERP, including organic positions and any rich result blocks Google rendered.

What are the rate limits for the goog.io API?

goog.io enforces per-subscription rate limits visible in your account dashboard. The OpenAPI spec does not encode exact numbers, so check the dashboard before running large rank-tracking jobs - pace concurrent requests rather than firing them in tight loops.

How do I run a Google search through Jentic?

Search Jentic for 'google web search', load the schema for GET /v1/search/{query}, and execute with the encoded query in the path. Jentic injects the apikey header so the agent only supplies the query and any localisation parameters.

Does the API return JavaScript-rendered content?

No. The endpoints return Google's results pages and crawled URLs as text or JSON; they do not execute JavaScript on the destination pages. For full-page rendering, fetch each result URL with a headless browser API.

Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the goog.io API?

Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, your own rules decide which goog.io operations the agent may call, so you can allow just web search on GET /v1/search/{query} or image search on GET /v1/images/{query} and leave the rest out. Since goog.io carries the query in the URL path rather than a persistent resource id, you scope by operation, meaning higher-reach calls like the /v1/crawl/{query} endpoint or the POST /v1/serp/ SERP retrieval are not available to the agent unless you add them. Your goog.io apikey is held by your own instance and injected only for the operations you permit, so it never reaches the agent's context.
