The problem
AI Mode is where a growing share of Google journeys now end — and there’s no Search Console report for it.
Your brand is being described, recommended, or skipped inside AI Mode answers — and classic rank tracking is completely blind to it.
There’s no AI Mode API from Google and no export. DIY scraping means fighting the most defended pages on the web.
Checking five queries by hand tells you nothing about five thousand — visibility work needs structured, repeatable data.
See it work
Post a keyword and get the complete AI-generated answer back — markdown, nested elements, and the references it cites.
POST https://api.dataforseo.com/v3/serp/google/ai_mode/live/advanced
[{
"keyword": "best crm software",
"location_code": 2840,
"language_code": "en",
"device": "desktop"
}]// response structure (see docs for full example)
{
"items": [{
"type": "ai_overview",
"markdown": "The best CRM software depends on your company size...",
"items": [
{ "type": "ai_overview_element", "text": "..." },
{ "type": "ai_overview_table_element" }
],
"references": [{
"type": "ai_overview_reference",
"source": "G2",
"domain": "www.g2.com",
"url": "https://www.g2.com/categories/crm",
"title": "Best CRM Software: User Reviews..."
}]
}]
}What's inside
Not a text dump — a typed structure you can parse, score, and track over time.
The complete AI Mode response, formatted in markdown and broken into typed elements — ready for diffing, scoring, and rendering.
Each cited source arrives with its domain, URL, title, and the snippet used — the exact citation targets your GEO strategy needs.
Tables, video elements, expanded sections, and product recommendations are captured as their own typed items — nothing flattened away.
Standard queue for keyword-set monitoring, Priority for fresh dashboards, Live when six seconds matters.

Talk to us →Google doesn’t offer one — but DataForSEO does. The Google AI Mode SERP API returns the complete AI Mode answer for any keyword, location, and device as structured JSON: markdown text, typed elements, and every cited reference.
One POST request to /v3/serp/google/ai_mode/live/advanced with your keyword, location, and device. No proxies, no browser farms, no maintenance — the collection layer is our problem.
The full answer in markdown, nested typed elements (text blocks, tables, video elements, expanded sections, product recommendations), and a references array with each source’s domain, URL, title, and cited snippet.
AI Overviews appear at the top of regular Google results; AI Mode is Google’s dedicated conversational search experience. DataForSEO covers both: AI Overview items arrive with the Google Organic SERP API, and this endpoint captures full AI Mode answers.
Standard queue: $0.0012 per results page ($1,200 per million). Priority: $0.0024 with ~1-minute turnaround. Live mode: $0.004 with results in about 6 seconds.
