ImportError: cannot import name 'GoogleSearch' from 'serpapi'

[nazib]

After creating a subscriber account in serpapi, I have been given an API key. I Installed the "pip install google-search-results "

but whenever I tried to run my django app I get this error:

Are you still getting it? Have you tried Python 3.7?

At one point I think I got the same error but then I just re-did my requirements.txt and reinstalled it via pip, restarted docker containers.. I also had to downgrade to Python 3.7 because was running into a segmentation fault with 3.8 and my specific docker instance - lemme know how it goes... curious

And if you can provide info on if you have a Docker setup or your requirements.txt that'd be great

[nazib]

yep working now. Thanks so much

[medero]

Nice! For documentation-sake, what fixed it? Did you downgrade to Python 3.7, or?

Same issue, doesn't work out of the box (Python 3.9.0)

I ran into the same issue, was able to work around it by:

import serpapi

and then doing

serpapi.search(params_go_here) instead of GoogleSearch(params_go_here)

same issue！！！

The actual fix is to pip install google-search-results

I also got the same issue. Before, I just installed "pip install serpapi" and then tried to import "GoogleSearch", which gave me the same error. Then I installed "pip install google-search-results" and tried again. It resolved the issue & I got the result.

I ran into the same issue, was able to work around it by:

import serpapi

and then doing

serpapi.search(params_go_here) instead of GoogleSearch(params_go_here)

Tried to use SerpApi with GoogleSearch but still wasn't able to get things working with 'pip install google-search-results'. Setting 'results = serpapi.search(params)' and then converting the 'results' object to a pandas dataframe worked for me.

i there no other way around this? im using python 3.12.4 and cant get this to work. would prefer not to do any hacks and import it normally error: ImportError: cannot import name 'GoogleSearch' from 'serpapi' (unknown location)

i did pip install google-search-results like documented

[ZiiS-ND]

I use this import from serpapi.google_search import GoogleSearch After the pip install google-search-results

And it works normally.

Python 3.8.6 serpapi 0.1.5 google-search-results 2.4.2
