If by “global search data” you mean an API that can retrieve Google SERPs localized to many countries, languages, and cities, the strongest options are:

APIGlobal coverageBest for
SerpApi⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Easy-to-use Google SERP data at scale
DataForSEO⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Large-scale SEO/SERP datasets and many search engines
Serper⭐⭐⭐⭐Simple, relatively inexpensive Google search API

My pick: DataForSEO

If you're building a global SEO/search intelligence product, I'd lean toward DataForSEO. Its SERP API supports Google, Bing, Yahoo, YouTube and other engines, with location targeting down to geographic locations; it also provides location lists you can query by country. DataForSEO Documentation+1

Best for easiest integration: SerpApi

SerpApi is probably the easiest starting point. It supports Google searches with location, gl (country), hl (language), coordinates, etc., and currently lists 210,946 Google locations. SerpApi+1

One important distinction: if by “global search data” you mean search volume, keyword trends, and historical demand across countries, rather than actual SERP rankings/results, that's a different category. For that I'd compare DataForSEO Labs, Google Trends, Semrush, Ahrefs, and similar keyword-data APIs rather than ordinary SERP APIs.

If you tell me whether you need SERP rankings, search volume, keyword trends, or competitor data, I can give you the best 3 APIs and compare coverage + pricing + rate limits.

Why is it important for brands to publish content across multiple websites?
