Hi Product Hunt 👋 SerpApi just released Markdown Output for all of our 100+ search APIs to complement our standard JSON format you all know and use every day. If you haven't heard about us yet, we are on the mission to make AI smarter with Web Search API as LLMs needs a way to get fresh information from the web. But why is Markdown a big deal you ask? AI agents. Markdown is more efficient format than JSON and we optimized it even further. Our new Markdown Output saves ~50% of tokens on average. For example, a full JSON from our Google Flights API returns 11584 tokens, but asking just for best flights in Markdown can do this in 315! Less tokens mean lighter and faster responses, more information for a context window, and real savings in token spend. It's super easy to start with it, too. Ask for output=md or use the /search.md endpoint. It requires zero configuration and is included with every plan at no additional cost. SerpApi comes with 250 free searches/month, so go and try the new Markdown Output and let us know what you think. We'll be here for any feedback.

Should you use JSON or Markdown when feeding search data to AI agents?

JSON is the industry standard for APIs, but is it actually the best format for a language model? We did a deep dive into possible advantages when using Markdown and the short answer is that JSON is costing you a lot of unnecessary tokens. JSON is full of nested braces, trailing commas, and strict structural noise. LLMs do not need this to understand the data.

Why Markdown?
