Use cases
Search inside your automations.
Anything that can make a web request can use Plainserp. That covers Zapier, Make, n8n, Google Apps Script and most internal tools.
How it works
- 1Add a web request step
Most tools call it HTTP request or Webhooks.
- 2Point it at the search address
Use GET, put your query in q, and add your key as an Authorization header.
- 3Use the results in the next step
Each result arrives as its own item with a title, link and snippet.
What to enter in the request step
Method: GET
URL: https://plainserp.com/v1/search
Query: q = {{ the text to search for }}
num = 5
Header: Authorization = Bearer YOUR_KEYWhy it fits
- One GET request with a header is all there is to set up.
- Results are a simple list, which automation tools can loop over directly.
- Small workflows cost cents a month.
Know before you start
- There isn't a ready-made Plainserp app in these tools. You use their generic web request step.
- Keep your key in the tool's secret or credential store, not in a shared step.
