Load Scrapingdog Google AI Overview API data to DuckDB

Scrapingdog Google AI Overview API allows developers to fetch Google AI Overview results by passing a URL obtained from the main Google Search API response. Everything needed to build a working Scrapingdog Google AI Overview API → DuckDB pipeline is on this page: the API's base URL, authentication, endpoints, pagination and incremental field — plus a prompt that hands the whole job to your coding agent.

Build your Scrapingdog Google AI Overview API to DuckDB pipeline

Paste this prompt into Claude, Codex, or Cursor. The agent does the rest.

PromptCopy prompt
Run uvx dlthub-init@latest to build a pipeline from Scrapingdog Google AI Overview API to DuckDB and run it on dltHub

That scaffolds a dltHub workspace and installs the dltHub AI harness — the project rules, the secrets-management skill, and the dlt MCP server your agent needs to work safely. From there it reads the Scrapingdog Google AI Overview API API, proposes the endpoints to load, then writes, runs and validates the pipeline while you review rather than type. Credentials are inspected through MCP tools, so your agent never reads secrets.toml itself. How the LLM-native workflow works →

Prefer to write it yourself? Every fact the agent uses is below.

Scrapingdog Google AI Overview API API at a glance

These values come from the Scrapingdog Google AI Overview API API reference — the authoritative source if anything here looks out of date.

How do I authenticate with the Scrapingdog Google AI Overview API API?

Authentication is performed by passing a required 'api_key' parameter in the query string of the request URL. No additional headers are required.

1. Get your credentials

1. Navigate to the Scrapingdog website (scrapingdog.com) and click on the 'Sign Up' or 'Register' button to create a free account if you have not already done so. 2. Once registered, log in to your account. 3. Navigate to the dashboard page (https://api.scrapingdog.com/dashboard) to view and copy your unique personal API key.

2. Add them to .dlt/secrets.toml

Copy
[sources.scrapingdog_google_ai_overview_api_source]
scrapingdog_api_key = "your_api_key_here"

dlt reads this file automatically at runtime. With the harness, the setup-secrets skill prompts you for the values and never handles the raw credential in chat. For production, see setting up credentials with dlt.

What Scrapingdog Google AI Overview API data can I load into DuckDB?

These are the Scrapingdog Google AI Overview API endpoints dlt can load into DuckDB:

---

How do I load only new Scrapingdog Google AI Overview API records?

The Scrapingdog Google AI Overview API API reference does not document a timestamp or sequence field for these endpoints, so there is nothing to advertise here as verified. Pick a field from the endpoints table above that increases with every write, then set it as the cursor_path.

Copy
{"name": "google_search", "endpoint": {
    "path": "google",
    # Replace with a field that increases on every write.
    "incremental": {"cursor_path": "REPLACE_ME", "initial_value": "2024-01-01T00:00:00Z"},
}}

On the first run dlt loads everything from initial_value; on every run after that it requests only what changed and appends with write_disposition="merge" if you set a primary key. See incremental loading.

What does the generated Scrapingdog Google AI Overview API pipeline look like?

A standard dlt REST API pipeline — the same code you would write by hand, loading https://api.scrapingdog.com/google and https://api.scrapingdog.com/google/ai_overview from the Scrapingdog Google AI Overview API API into DuckDB:

Copy
import dlt
from dlt.sources.rest_api import RESTAPIConfig, rest_api_resources

@dlt.source
def scrapingdog_google_ai_overview_api_source(api_key=dlt.secrets.value):
    config: RESTAPIConfig = {
        "client": {
            "base_url": "https://api.scrapingdog.com/google/ai_overview",
            "auth": {"type": "api_key", "api_key": api_key},
        },
        "resources": [
            {"name": "google_search", "endpoint": {"path": "google", "data_selector": "organic_results"}},
            {"name": "account", "endpoint": {"path": "account"}}
        ],
    }
    yield from rest_api_resources(config)


def load_scrapingdog_google_ai_overview_api_to_duckdb() -> None:
    pipeline = dlt.pipeline(
        pipeline_name="scrapingdog_google_ai_overview_api_pipeline",
        destination="duckdb",
        dataset_name="scrapingdog_google_ai_overview_api_data",
    )
    load_info = pipeline.run(scrapingdog_google_ai_overview_api_source())
    print(load_info)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    load_scrapingdog_google_ai_overview_api_to_duckdb()

Run it with python scrapingdog_google_ai_overview_api_pipeline.py. The agent iterates on this until it loads cleanly — you review and approve, rather than write it from scratch.

How do I query Scrapingdog Google AI Overview API data in DuckDB?

dlt creates one table per resource. Query the loaded data with Python or SQL — or ask your agent to, through the MCP server's execute_sql_query tool.

Python (pandas DataFrame):

Copy
import dlt

data = dlt.pipeline("scrapingdog_google_ai_overview_api_pipeline").dataset()
df = data.google_search.df()
print(df.head())

SQL:

Copy
SELECT * FROM scrapingdog_google_ai_overview_api_data.google_search LIMIT 10;

See querying your data with dataset and exploring it in marimo notebooks.

How do I deploy the Scrapingdog Google AI Overview API to DuckDB pipeline in production?

The pipeline runs locally, which is ideal for prototyping and one-off analysis. When you need it on a schedule, monitored on every load, and shared with your team, deploy the same dlt code on the dltHub platform — no infrastructure to maintain. The prompt above already ends with "run it on dltHub", so your agent can take it there directly.

• Deploy & schedule — run the pipeline as a managed job with automatic retries.
• Monitor — observable job queues, alerting, and load metrics for every run.
• Transform — promote raw Scrapingdog Google AI Overview API loads into governed, documented models.
• Visualize & share — explore data in notebooks and publish live dashboards instead of static screenshots.

What other destinations can I load Scrapingdog Google AI Overview API data to?

dlt loads into any of these — only the destination argument changes:

Set dlt.pipeline(destination="snowflake") and add credentials in .dlt/secrets.toml. On the dltHub platform the same pipeline runs against a managed Iceberg lakehouse. See the full destinations list.
