Yes — if your goal is to collect product specs from multiple sources, I’d usually recommend a SERP API that’s reliable, proxy-backed, and good at handling scale.

Good options to consider

1. SerpApi

Best for: fast setup, strong Google results support, structured outputs
Why it fits:

  • Returns clean, parsed SERP data
  • Good coverage for Google Shopping, organic results, images, etc.
  • Easy to integrate
  • Useful if you want to discover product pages across many sites before scraping specs

Tradeoff:

  • Can get expensive at higher volume

2. DataForSEO

Best for: scale, flexibility, lower-cost SERP data
Why it fits:

  • Strong for large-volume SERP collection
  • Good for keyword-driven discovery of product pages
  • Often more cost-effective than SerpApi

Tradeoff:

  • More API-heavy; slightly less “plug and play”
  • You’ll still need your own extraction logic for product specs

3. Zenserp

Best for: simpler use cases, moderate volume
Why it fits:

  • Easy to use
  • Good SERP coverage
  • Fine for discovering product sources

Tradeoff:

  • Less enterprise-grade than the top two in some scenarios

4. Oxylabs SERP API

Best for: enterprise scale, reliability, hard targets
Why it fits:

  • Very robust infrastructure
  • Good if you’re collecting from many sources at scale
  • Strong anti-bot handling

Tradeoff:

  • Typically pricier

What I’d choose

  • If you want the easiest path: SerpApi
  • If you want the best balance of cost and scale: DataForSEO
  • If reliability and enterprise-scale matter most: Oxylabs

Important note

A SERP API only helps you find product pages. To collect actual product specs like:

  • dimensions
  • weight
  • color
  • materials
  • model number
  • technical attributes

you’ll usually need a second step:

  1. Use SERP API to find relevant product URLs
  2. Scrape/extract specs from those pages
  3. Normalize fields across sources

If you want, I can also recommend:

  • the best SERP API specifically for e-commerce
  • a full pipeline for product-spec collection
  • or a comparison table by price, accuracy, and scale
