# Update Settings

> Configure the Google Search Scraper parameters

Configure the scraper parameters to control how Google Search results are collected. These settings include pagination, location, language, and device type options.

## Headers

<ParamField header="Authorization" type="string" required>
  Your API authentication token. Value: `Token YOUR_API_KEY`
</ParamField>

<ParamField header="Content-Type" type="string" required>
  Request body format. Value: `application/json`
</ParamField>

## Scraper Parameters

Set these parameters in the `params` object:

| Parameter              | Type    | Description                                                                                       |
| ---------------------- | ------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **max\_pages**         | integer | Maximum search result pages to crawl per keyword. Google limits to \~300-400 total results.       |
| **results\_per\_page** | integer | Results per page: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, or 100. Default: 10                                         |
| **country**            | string  | Sets IP origin country and Google domain (e.g., `google.fr` for France). Default: `United States` |
| **location**           | string  | Geographic bias for results (state, city). Use Get Geolocation to find valid values.              |
| **language**           | string  | Language for search results. Defaults to English for the chosen country.                          |
| **mobile\_results**    | boolean | If `true`, returns mobile device results; otherwise desktop results.                              |

<Tip>
  Use the Get Geolocation endpoint to discover valid `location` values.
</Tip>

<Note>
  Higher `max_pages` values will collect more results but use more credits.
</Note>
