# Google Serper
Google Search API integration with serper.dev (wrapper, tests, docs, … (#909)
Adds Google Search integration with [Serper](https://serper.dev) a
low-cost alternative to SerpAPI (10x cheaper + generous free tier).
Includes documentation, tests and examples. Hopefully I am not missing
anything.
Developers can sign up for a free account at
[serper.dev](https://serper.dev) and obtain an api key.
## Usage
```python
from langchain.utilities import GoogleSerperAPIWrapper
from langchain.llms.openai import OpenAI
from langchain.agents import initialize_agent, Tool
import os
os.environ["SERPER_API_KEY"] = ""
os.environ['OPENAI_API_KEY'] = ""
llm = OpenAI(temperature=0)
search = GoogleSerperAPIWrapper()
tools = [
Tool(
name="Intermediate Answer",
func=search.run
)
]
self_ask_with_search = initialize_agent(tools, llm, agent="self-ask-with-search", verbose=True)
self_ask_with_search.run("What is the hometown of the reigning men's U.S. Open champion?")
```
### Output
```
Entering new AgentExecutor chain...
Yes.
Follow up: Who is the reigning men's U.S. Open champion?
Intermediate answer: Current champions Carlos Alcaraz, 2022 men's singles champion.
Follow up: Where is Carlos Alcaraz from?
Intermediate answer: El Palmar, Spain
So the final answer is: El Palmar, Spain
> Finished chain.
'El Palmar, Spain'
```

This page covers how to use the [Serper](https://serper.dev) Google Search API within LangChain. Serper is a low-cost Google Search API that can be used to add answer box, knowledge graph, and organic results data from Google Search.
It is broken into two parts: setup, and then references to the specific Google Serper wrapper.
## Setup
- Go to [serper.dev](https://serper.dev) to sign up for a free account
- Get the api key and set it as an environment variable (`SERPER_API_KEY`)
## Wrappers
### Utility
There exists a GoogleSerperAPIWrapper utility which wraps this API. To import this utility:
```python
from langchain.utilities import GoogleSerperAPIWrapper
```
You can use it as part of a Self Ask chain:
```python
from langchain.utilities import GoogleSerperAPIWrapper
from langchain.llms.openai import OpenAI
from langchain.agents import initialize_agent, Tool
