use Symfony\Component\HttpClient\Psr18Client;

$apiKey = 'your_serpapi_key';
$httpClient = new Psr18Client();
$requestFactory = new Psr17Factory();
$googleOptions = new GoogleSearchOptions(gl: 'us', hl: 'en');
$serpApiOptions = new SerpApiOptions(no_cache: true);

$client = new GoogleSearchClient(
    $apiKey,
    $httpClient,
    $requestFactory,

);

try {

    print_r($results);
