Scavio for SERP Multi-Vendor Failover

The Problem

Single-vendor search APIs are a production risk. When SerpAPI's legal issues or Sonar's 503 errors hit, pipelines break. Multi-vendor failover keeps uptime above 99.9%.

How Scavio Helps

• Try-catch-rotate pattern handles vendor outages transparently
• Vendor attribution logging for cost reconciliation
• Configurable priority: Scavio primary, Serper secondary, Brave tertiary
• Same response shape regardless of which vendor served it
• Sub-100ms failover: catch error, try next vendor, no retry delay

Quick Start: Python Example

Here is a quick example searching Google for "search_with_failover('best crm 2026') → try Scavio (5s timeout) → 503 → try Serper → success → return { vendor: 'serper', results: [...] } → log failover event":

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")

Built for Production engineering teams, SREs, API-dependent SaaS products, teams with uptime SLAs

Scavio handles the search infrastructure — proxies, CAPTCHAs, rate limits, and anti-bot detection — so you can focus on building your serp multi-vendor failover solution. The API returns structured JSON that is ready for processing, analysis, or feeding into AI agents.
