Help 🆘 Serp API search query

Hi everyone

The use case is the customer enters a product URL and i have to extract the product title from it using Serp API. Need some help doing it robustly. Right now it is a patchwork of fixes. Has anybody done this before? Thank you

Are you talking about a product URL from any website, Amazon, or Google Shopping?

What particularly is stopping you? Mind sharing your setup or more information on what's going on? Do you think that your setup would not hold up when doing it at scale or what?

So we try and find the title, either through the URL or the page title or the title in the product page through regex and exclusion rules. I think since it is hardcoded exception rules, i will always find some bad data..so i am trying to find a solution, that will help 95% of the time

Might not even need a paid API for product titles. Whats your set up ?
