# Two-letter language code used to define the page languages
curl --proxy brd.superproxy.io:33335 --proxy-user brd-customer--zone-: "https://www.google.com/maps/search/hotels+new+york/?hl=en"

Example:
tbm=isch - images
tbm=shop - shopping
tbm=nws - news
tbm=vid - videos
curl --proxy brd.superproxy.io:33335 --proxy-user brd-customer--zone-: "https://www.google.com/search?q=pizza&tbm=shop"
#Define the result offset - results to start from the selected value. Used for managing pagination.
Examples:
start=0 (default) - first page of results
start=10 - second page of results
start=20 - third page of results, etc.
curl --proxy brd.superproxy.io:33335 --proxy-user brd-customer--zone-: "https://www.google.com/maps/search/hotels+new+york/?start=20"
# Define what device type to be represented in user-agent.
Default or brd_mobile=0 will provide random desktop user-agent while brd_mobile=1 will provide random mobile user-agent.
curl --proxy brd.superproxy.io:33335 --proxy-user brd-customer--zone-: "https://www.google.com/search?q=pizza&brd_mobile=1"
# Define what browser to be represented in user-agent.

curl --proxy brd.superproxy.io:33335 --proxy-user brd-customer--zone-: "https://www.google.com/search?q=pizza&brd_browser=chrome"
# Bright Data custom parameter allowing to return parsed JSON instead of raw HTML
curl --proxy brd.superproxy.io:33335 --proxy-user brd-customer--zone-: "https://www.google.com/maps/search/hotels+new+york/?brd_json=1"
# Make parallel requests through our API server using POST request.
Parallel requests will be using the same peer and session and can be used for comparison tests, I.e. making an identical pair of requests with 2 different values for a selected parameter
RESPONSE_ID=$(curl -i --silent --compressed "https://api.brightdata.com/serp/req?customer=&zone=" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer API_KEY" -d $'{"country":"us","multi":[{"query":{"q":"pizza","num":20}},{"query":{"q":"pizza","num":100}}]}' | sed -En 's/^x-response-id: (.*)/\1/p' | tr -d '\r')
# Setting brd_ai_overview=2 will increase the likelihood of receiving Google’s Generative AI Overviews in your SERP responses, typically appearing in ~15-20%+ of results.
curl --proxy brd.superproxy.io:33335 --proxy-user brd-customer--zone-: "https://www.google.com/search?q=what+makes+the+best+pizza&brd_ai_overview=2"
