The Problem
ScrapingRobot broke against anti-bot. Sonar credits wiped. SerpAPI has an active lawsuit. Single-vendor dependency is a production risk.
The Scavio Solution
Multi-vendor failover: Scavio primary → Serper fallback → emergency vendor. Automatic retry, normalized output, performance logging.
Before
Single SERP vendor. When it goes down, pipeline breaks. No failover, no vendor comparison data.
After
Three-vendor failover with automatic retry. Normalized response format. Performance logging for quarterly vendor review.
Who It Is For
Production search pipelines, enterprise teams, agencies billing on SLA guarantees, anyone who experienced a vendor outage.
Key Benefits
- Automatic failover prevents pipeline outages
- Normalized output across vendors
- Performance logging for vendor comparison
- Budget: same as single-vendor (failback only runs on failure)
- Vendor-neutral application code
Python Example
Python
import requests, os
vendors = [
{'name': 'scavio', 'url': 'https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/search',
'headers': {'x-api-key': os.environ['SCAVIO_API_KEY']},
'body': lambda q: {'platform': 'google', 'query': q}},
{'name': 'serper', 'url': 'https://google.serper.dev/search',
'headers': {'X-API-KEY': os.environ['SERPER_API_KEY']},
'body': lambda q: {'q': q}},
]
def search(query):
for v in vendors:
try:
r = requests.post(v['url'], headers=v['headers'], json=v['body'](query), timeout=15)
if r.ok: return r.json()
except: continue
