Add first-class support for the Extract API (engine: extract), which turns any public web page into a structured JSON document and supports scrape (default), map, and crawl modes. New method on SerpApi::Client: - extract(params): runs an extraction; forces engine=extract and fails fast when the required :url parameter is missing. All other parameters (mode, max_pages, max_depth, include_subdomains, include_sitemap, device, prefetch_delay, timeout, include_tags, exclude_tags, include_markdown, include_inline_assets, output) pass through verbatim - the backend remains the source of truth. Includes offline unit specs, live example specs, a runnable demo (demo/demo_extract.rb), and README documentation.
extract forced engine: 'extract' with a symbol key, so a string-keyed 'engine' from the call or the client defaults was sent as well (engine=google&engine=extract). Drop string-keyed engines and nil out any inherited from the defaults.

Let's add first-class support for the Extract API (
engine=extract), which turns any public web page into a structured JSON document and supportsscrape(default),map, andcrawlmodes.The new
extract(params)methodRuns an extraction. Forces
engine: 'extract'and fails fast withSerpApiErrorwhen the required:urlparameter is missing. All other parameters (mode,max_pages,max_depth,include_subdomains,include_sitemap,device,prefetch_delay,timeout,include_tags,exclude_tags,include_markdown,include_inline_assets,output) pass through verbatim, keeping the backend as the source of truth for validation. The hash-only signature matches the gem's existing convention (search(q: ...)) and mirrors the planned Python SDK shape (client.extract(url=...)).
