Scavio for Government Data via Search Extraction

The Problem

Government websites use inconsistent technology stacks, often block scrapers, and rarely provide APIs. Building and maintaining scrapers for each government site is expensive. However, government content is indexed by Google and accessible through SERP data and content extraction.

How Scavio Helps

• Access government data without per-site scraper maintenance
• Google indexes government PDFs, filings, and public records
• Content extraction handles JavaScript-heavy government portals
• No need for per-site authentication or session management
• Covers federal, state, and local government sources through Google index

Quick Start: Python Example

Here is a quick example searching Google for "Researcher needs recent FDA food safety notices. Instead of scraping fda.gov (which blocks automated access), searches 'site:fda.gov food safety notice 2026' via Scavio Google API. Gets structured list of notices with titles, dates, and URLs. Extracts full text of each notice via extract endpoint.":

import requests

API_KEY = "your_scavio_api_key"

response = requests.post(
    "https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/search",
    headers={
        "x-api-key": API_KEY,
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
    },
    json={"query": query},
)

data = response.json()
for result in data.get("organic_results", [])[:5]:
    print(f"{result['position']}. {result['title']}")
    print(f"   {result['link']}\n")
