Definition
Structured search results are search engine results that have been parsed and organized into a machine-readable format like JSON, with clearly labeled fields for titles, URLs, snippets, prices, ratings, and other data points.
In Depth
Raw search engine results pages are HTML documents designed for human consumption. Structured search results transform that HTML into clean, typed data that software can process directly. A well-structured SERP API response separates organic results, ads, featured snippets, PAA questions, and shopping results into distinct arrays with consistent schemas. This is critical for AI agents that need to reason over search data, for analytics pipelines that aggregate ranking data, and for applications that display search results in custom interfaces. Scavio returns fully structured JSON for every supported platform, with consistent field naming across Google, Amazon, YouTube, Walmart, and Reddit.
Example Usage
An AI agent receives a structured JSON response from Scavio containing an array of organic results, each with title, url, snippet, and position fields, and uses this data to compile a research summary without any HTML parsing.
