Note that part of SerpApi's product seems to be indemnification from liability. On their pricing page, the Developer plan specifies "No Legal US Shield" and the Production plan specifies "Legal US Shield".

From their FAQ:

> What are scraper legal protections?

> SerpApi, LLC assumes scraping and parsing liabilities for both domestic and foreign companies unless your usage is otherwise illegal.
