Google AI mode SERP API delivers results from Google’s AI mode – the generative search experience that responds to queries with AI-generated answers, follow-up questions, and linked sources. For any keyword, location, and language, you receive the full AI mode response parsed into structured data: the generated answer, citations, images, videos, and related items. Each request returns one SERP (search engine results page). Choose between three execution modes (Standard queue, Priority queue, and Live), depending on how quickly you need the data.
