> If you want Google results, SerpApi gives 5000 searches for $75. They are not pay-as-you-go, and more searches give you better pricing. Probably if you're setting this up for your whole company you can get a pretty good deal.
Oh wow that's quite expensive, when I tried to create a similar API to resell google search results I was able to sell 15k requests with $34(and this was the lowest plan with the most expensive price for 1k), with a profit margin of about 70-80%, that was about 2 years ago tho, so maybe now it's much harder, but the price still seems insane. Unfortunately didn't got much traction and I stopped working on it after a few months, since it required a lot of maintenance.

Yeah, that’s where the extra margins go usually - traction (marketing) and maintenance.
Not sure why the guy is so proud of selling a service at an unsustainable price. "Oh wow that's quite expensive. I sold my service at a cheaper but unsustainable price" is not much of an insight.
