Google Ai overview preview API
Ask Google Search a prompt and receive the AI Overview as a searcher first sees it, before selecting Show more: the opening text and the sources linked inside it. When Google shows the whole overview without a Show more button, that is what you receive. For the complete expanded overview with every source Google listed, use google.ai_overview.

Request body
JSON, posted to this endpoint.
- promptstring
How does photosynthesis work?
The question or prompt to search Google for.
Response
JSON, one example value per field.
The part of the AI Overview Google showed before Show more for this search, or null when Google showed no overview. Google regenerates the overview on each search, so two calls with the same prompt can return different wording and different sources.
- answerstring
The overview text visible before Show more, as plain text. Google cuts the preview where the fold falls, so it often ends mid-sentence. When Google shows the whole overview with no Show more button, this is the whole overview. Populated whenever the provider has data for the entity.
- promptstring
The prompt Google answered. Populated whenever the provider has data for the entity.
The sources linked in the visible part of the overview, in page order. This is only what shows before Show more, so it is usually shorter than the full source list google.ai_overview returns. Populated whenever the provider has data for the entity.
- indexinteger
The link's position in the visible overview, starting at 1.
- titlestring
The link text or source name Google showed. Empty when Google showed the link without text.
- urlstring
The linked source URL.
- foundboolean
Whether Google Search showed an AI Overview for this prompt.
- reason"not_found"
Present only when `found` is false, and says why there is no result. `not_found`: the source states the target does not exist, or returned nothing for it. A `found: false` answer is a successful call, not an error, and `costUsd` is what it actually cost.
