How does AI Summary endpoint of SERP API work?

The AI Summary endpoint of SERP API is designed to help you gather insights from search engine results by providing a comprehensive summary of search engine results and pages featured across them. Furthermore, this endpoint can generate a relevant response to the specified prompt.

AI Summary employs a LLM (Large Language Model) algorithm to generate text based on the following input parameters:

Organic SERP results. Our algorithm takes a few top result snippets (usually five) from SERPs.

SERP features. By default, the algorithm will consider the following extra features, in addition to organic results: answer_box, knowledge_graph, featured_snippet. If you want to consider only organic results, you can set the support_extra parameter in the request to false.

Page content. You can improve the result by fetching and considering the content of pages ranked in organic search results. Just set the fetch_content parameter to true.Note that pages related to the extra SERP features will not be considered.

Prompt. By specifying a prompt related to the keyword specified in the initial request, you will tailor the summary to your needs and get answers to any question relate to the certain SERP.

To use the AI Summary endpoint, specify the ID of the SERP task which you want our AI to summarize. The new endpoint works in the Live mode, which means you can define all necessary parameters and receive a summary with a single POST request.
