There are two modes to collect SERP data: synchronous and asynchronous requests:
Synchronous requests are direct: When you send a request, you’ll get the response in real-time

Asynchronous requests: When you send requests without waiting for the responses, and get ‘response IDs’ in return. We will store the responses for 24 hours from the time the request was sent. You can collect the responses at your convenience via API command or Webhook.

A proxy network is important for web scraping because it allows the scraper to remain anonymous, avoid IP blocking, access geo-restricted content, and improve scraping speed.
