Input
The question or prompt to answer with a Google AI Overview.
Optional; omit it and routing is unchanged, with the cheapest source serving. Name the output fields this request must be able to return, for example `scrapedAt`, and it is served only by a source that returns every one of them. Fields you do not name are still returned whenever the serving source has them. This can raise your price: when the cheapest source cannot return a named field, a dearer source serves, and you are quoted and charged its price. Naming a combination that no single source returns together is refused as invalid input, with no charge.

Google AI Overview API
Ask Google Search a prompt and receive the AI Overview it generated for that scrape, with every source Google listed. Google regenerates the overview per search, so the same prompt can return different wording and a different source list.

Pricing
Billed at the actual cost of each call, usually $0.0015 per request. A call can cost more when the first data source fails and another one answers. Failed calls are not charged. Lookups that find nothing and searches with no results are billed at their actual cost, which is often lower and can be $0.
