Google AI Mode Scraper API: AI Mode Answers and AI Overviews
ProxyField's Google AI Mode scraper API is designed to return the AI Mode answer to each question you send, with its cited sources, at $1.50 per 1,000 successful results ($1.00 from 10,000 results in one purchase), and ProxyField's Google SERP API parses the AI Overview in the same request as the results page at $1.20 per 1,000 ($0.80 from 10,000). Both APIs are in development: access is through Contact sales, and only successful results are billed.

Billed on successful results only.
What to look for in any SERP API that claims both (true for every provider, not only us):
- A separate AI Mode endpoint. AI Mode is its own page, so an API that parses only the results page cannot return it.
- The AI Overview in the same request as the results, so each keyword costs one request, not two.
- No charge when Google shows no AI answer, because many keywords, places and languages get none.
Five providers with a published AI Mode price are listed side by side on our SERP API price comparison: $17.10 to $44.10 per 1,000 at 1,000 answers and $2.50 to $7.25 per 1,000 at 100,000 answers.
| Question | Short answer |
|---|---|
| Which SERP APIs return AI Overviews and AI Mode? | The five providers on the comparison have a published AI Mode price ($2.50 to $7.25 per 1,000 at 100,000 answers, October 25, 2026). ProxyField's two APIs are designed to cover both: the Overview inside the SERP API request ($1.20 per 1,000), AI Mode in this API ($1.50 per 1,000); in development |
| How do I track my brand in AI Overviews? | Today: check by hand, or use a free checker or a tracking tool (from $9.80 a month). Count 5 numbers: trigger, mention, citation, citation position, organic rank. Building your own tracker on ProxyField's SERP API: 1,000 keywords a week ≈ $5.16 a month (in development) |
| Can I scrape AI Mode without code? | Yes. Copy by hand, or run a ready-made point-and-click AI Mode scraper from a scraping marketplace (questions, country, language, run, CSV). ProxyField's route, once its API opens: one HTTP step in n8n, Make or Zapier, 100 questions for $0.15 |
What Google AI Mode data you get
Each successful result is designed to hold the AI Mode answer to one question, with the pages it cites:
| Field | What you get |
|---|---|
answer_text | The answer as plain text |
answer_markdown | The answer as Markdown, with numbered [n] markers where it cites a source |
text_blocks | The answer as blocks (paragraphs, lists, tables), each with the numbers of the sources it cites |
citations | The cited sources: position, title, URL, domain and snippet |
metadata | The request id, success or no_result, and whether the request was billed |

AI Mode is Google Search's conversational mode: instead of a list of ten links, it writes an answer, links the pages it drew on, and lets the searcher ask a follow-up. Google shows it for some questions, places and languages and not others, so an empty answer is a valid result to record.
Sample request and response
The API design: a POST to https://api.proxyfield.io/v1/google/ai-mode with your API key in an Authorization: Bearer <api_key> header and a JSON body. One request is one question and returns one answer. Full reference: API documentation.
| Parameter | Type | Default | Allowed values | What it sets |
|---|---|---|---|---|
q | string | required | 1–400 characters | the question, in full sentences as a searcher types it |
gl | string | us | a two-letter country code, any of the proxy pool's 195+ countries | the country Google answers for |
hl | string | en | a language code | the interface language |
location | string | null | a canonical country, region or city name | a narrower place than the country |
device | string | desktop | desktop, mobile | the device Google sees |
The response's metadata.status is success or no_result, and metadata.billed says whether the request counted. AI answers take longer than a page fetch, so for long lists the design queues them as jobs: a batch takes up to 1,000 questions, calls your callback_url for each finished answer and keeps results 48 hours; 20 direct requests run at once per account.

}If Google shows no AI Mode answer, the request returns no_result with empty answer fields, and it is not billed. Blocked and timed-out requests are not billed either.
Which SERP APIs return Google AI Overviews and AI Mode results?
A SERP API returns both when it parses the AI Overview inside the normal results page and also has a separate endpoint for AI Mode, which is its own page. Five providers published a price for an AI Mode endpoint: from $17.10 to $44.10 per 1,000 answers if you buy only 1,000 (a monthly plan minimum sets the price there), and from $2.50 to $7.25 per 1,000 at 100,000 answers. Their names and every row are on the SERP API price comparison; provider names stay on that page.

ProxyField is designed to cover both, in two APIs that are in development (Contact sales): the Google SERP API parses the AI Overview in the same request as the results page, for $1.20 per 1,000 successful results, and this API returns the AI Mode answer, for $1.50 per 1,000.
| Item | AI Overview | AI Mode |
|---|---|---|
| Where it appears | at the top of a normal Google results page, for some queries | in a separate AI Mode tab or page, as a full conversational answer |
| ProxyField API | parsed inside the Google SERP API, with the People Also Ask block and the local pack | this page: the Google AI Mode scraper API |
| Endpoint (design) | POST /v1/google/search | POST /v1/google/ai-mode |
| What each request returns | the Google results page as JSON, with the AI Overview, the People Also Ask block and the local pack parsed | the AI Mode answer |
| You send | a keyword | a question |
| Price per 1,000 successful results | $1.20, from $0.80 | $1.50, from $1.00 |
| 1,000 keywords a day (30,000 results a month) | $36.00 | $45.00 |
Both APIs for the same 1,000 keywords a day: 30,000 results pages ($36.00) plus 30,000 AI Mode answers ($45.00), $81.00 a month at entry prices.
The AI Overview block, as the SERP API is designed to return it (shortened). When Google loads the Overview after the page, the API fetches it in the same request at no extra charge; ai_overview.status is present, absent or error:
{
"metadata": {"id": "req_7f3c9a1e52d84b0c", "api": "google_search", "status": "success", "billed": true},
"ai_overview": {
"status": "present",
"markdown": "An espresso machine forces hot water through finely ground coffee at about 9 bar of pressure [1][2]. ...",
"citations": [
{"position": 1, "title": "Espresso machine", "url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Espresso_machine", "domain": "en.wikipedia.org", "snippet": "An espresso machine brews coffee by forcing pressurized water near boiling point through a puck of ground coffee."}
]
},
"organic_results": [
{"position": 1, "title": "Espresso machine - Wikipedia", "url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Espresso_machine", "domain": "en.wikipedia.org"}
]
}The AI Mode answer has the same shape of sources: citations with position, title, URL, domain and snippet (the sample above). So one sheet or database table holds both.
How to tell whether a SERP API really returns both
Ask any SERP API these 6 questions before you buy; ProxyField's design answers are in the last column (in development, so a live provider can show you its answers today).
| Check | Why it matters | ProxyField |
|---|---|---|
| Is there a separate AI Mode endpoint, or only the AI Overview? | AI Mode is its own page; an API that parses only the results page cannot return it | separate: this API, $1.50 per 1,000 |
| Does the AI Overview come in the same request as the results? | if the Overview needs a second request, each keyword costs two | same request: parsed inside the SERP API's $1.20 result, no surcharge |
| Is a request that returns no result billed? | Google shows no AI answer for many keywords, places and languages | no: when Google shows no AI Mode answer, the request returns no_result and is not billed; blocked and timed-out requests are not billed either |
| Do the cited links come back as their own field? | you need them for the citation rate | yes: citations, with position, title, URL, domain and snippet, in both APIs |
| Can you set the country and language? | AI answers differ by market | yes: gl for the country, hl for the language, and location for a region or city. The countries: the proxy pool's 195+ countries |
| Is the API live, and is the price per 1,000 published? | you can cost a tracking plan before you talk to sales | in development, through Contact sales; $1.20 and $1.50 per 1,000, from $0.80 and $1.00 at 10,000 results in one purchase |
How can I track whether my brand appears in Google AI Overviews?
Run a fixed keyword list on a schedule and record, each time, whether an AI Overview appeared, whether it named your brand and whether it linked your site. Search Console alone cannot do it: it counts clicks and impressions from AI features inside its normal "Web" data, but it does not say whether an Overview named or linked you (Google Search Central: AI features). Three routes work today: check by hand (tens of keywords), use a free checker for a one-off look, or pay for a tracking tool (from $9.80 a month in the table below). The fourth route, building your own tracker from raw data on ProxyField's SERP API, costs about $5.16 a month for 1,000 keywords checked weekly, and that API is in development (Contact sales).

Checker or tracker. A checker looks up keywords once and shows which ones trigger an AI Overview and what it cites. A tracker runs your whole list on a schedule and keeps the history, so you can read rates and trends. Start with a checker to find the keywords that trigger an Overview; track those.
The steps, whichever tool runs them:
-
List your keywords in their exact wording, with the country, language and device you care about. Mix buyer questions ("best X for Y", "X vs Y", "is X worth it") with your category terms.
-
Check a sample by hand in a logged-out browser, so you know what a normal searcher sees.
-
Run the list on a schedule, weekly or daily: in a tracking tool, or through the Google SERP API for AI Overviews and organic ranks and this API for AI Mode.
-
Store every run with the keyword, the date and the settings, so you compare like with like.
-
Compute 5 numbers per run:
| Metric | How to count it |
|---|---|
| Trigger rate | keywords that showed an AI Overview or an AI Mode answer ÷ keywords checked |
| Brand-mention rate | answers that name your brand ÷ answers collected |
| Citation rate | answers that link a page on your site ÷ answers collected |
| Citation position | your link's position in the answer's citations (1 = first), averaged over the answers that link you |
| Organic rank | your page's position in organic_results of the same SERP API response, so you see rank and citation side by side |
A worked week (an illustration, not data): 100 keywords, each checked on 3 days = 300 results pages. 180 showed an AI Overview: a trigger rate of 60%. 45 of the 180 named your brand: a mention rate of 25%. 27 linked your site: a citation rate of 15%. Your link positions add up to 84: an average citation position of 3.1. On the SERP API design, the week would cost 300 × $1.20 ÷ 1,000 = $0.36.
| What you see | What to do |
|---|---|
| Low trigger rate | Google shows no AI answer for those keywords: track other keywords, or longer buyer questions |
| Ranks in the top 10, not cited | the Overview draws on other pages: make the passage that answers the keyword on your ranking page short, direct and specific |
| Named, but not linked | the answer knows your brand but cites other pages: improve the page that should be cited |
| Linked, but at position 4 or lower | strengthen that page on the exact question |
| Not named at all | study what the answer names and the pages it links, and cover that ground |
AI answers change from day to day for the same keyword, so run each keyword on several days before you read a trend.

| What you get | notes and screenshots | charts, alerts and share of voice | the raw answers and the organic ranks in the same response, yours to keep |
| Pick it when | you start, or spot-check | you want ready charts without building a sheet | you want raw data at scale or in your own reports |
For rank tracking from many locations with your own tools, see Google proxies.
Scrape Google AI Mode without writing code
Yes. Two no-code routes work today: copy answers by hand for tens of questions, or run a ready-made point-and-click AI Mode scraper from a scraping marketplace, where you type the questions, pick the country and language, press run and export a CSV or JSON file. Ready-made AI Mode scrapers and APIs with a published price cost $17.10 to $44.10 per 1,000 answers if you buy 1,000, and $2.50 to $7.25 per 1,000 at 100,000 answers (the SERP API price comparison names them). ProxyField has no form of its own: once its API opens (in development, Contact sales), the no-code route is one HTTP step in n8n, Make or Zapier between two Google Sheets steps, and 100 questions would cost $0.15.
Read moreShow less
| No-code route | Works today | What you do | Cost | What to check |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Copy by hand | yes | ask AI Mode in a logged-out browser, paste the answer and its links into a sheet | your time | one question at a time; note the date, country and device |
| A point-and-click AI Mode scraper from a scraping marketplace | yes | fill in a form (questions, country, language), press run, export CSV, JSON or Excel | the tool's price per answer: $17.10 to $44.10 per 1,000 at 1,000 answers on the comparison | whether error rows and empty answers are charged; the item and time limits per run; whether it returns every cited source with its position; whether it has a schedule; its terms and Google's |
| ProxyField's API from n8n, Make or Zapier | no: in development, through Contact sales | sheet → HTTP step → sheet, on the tool's schedule | $1.50 per 1,000 successful results, from $1.00 at 10,000; empty answers and failed requests not billed | one HTTP step to set up (filled in below) |
A design example, 100 questions: put 100 questions in column A of a sheet, with the country and language in B and C. The flow sends 100 requests; at $1.50 per 1,000 successful results the run would cost 100 × $1.50 ÷ 1,000 = $0.15, and any question Google answers with no AI Mode answer comes back as no_result and is not billed. Run weekly, that is about 430 results a month, about $0.65.
What the API is designed to handle at once: 20 requests at a time per account (higher limits through sales), and batches of up to 1,000 questions in one call, with a signed callback for each finished answer and results kept 48 hours. A weekly list of 1,000 questions is one batch call.
The flow in each tool. These are each tool's standard modules; any tool that can send an HTTP request works the same way.
| Step | n8n | Make | Zapier |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Read the questions | Google Sheets node, "Get Row(s)" | Google Sheets, "Search Rows" | Google Sheets trigger, "New Spreadsheet Row" |
| 2. Send each question | HTTP Request node | HTTP, "Make a request" | Webhooks by Zapier, "Custom Request" |
| 3. Write the answer back | Google Sheets node, "Update Row" | Google Sheets, "Update a Row" | Google Sheets, "Update Spreadsheet Row" |
| 4. Repeat weekly | Schedule Trigger node | the scenario's schedule | Schedule by Zapier |
The HTTP step, filled in:
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Method | POST |
| URL | https://api.proxyfield.io/v1/google/ai-mode |
| Header | Authorization: Bearer <api_key> |
| Body (JSON) | {"q": "<query from the row>", "gl": "<country from the row>", "hl": "<language from the row>"} |
| Map back to the row | answer_text → answer; the domains of citations → cited_domains (use the tool's list-to-text mapping, comma-separated); metadata.status → status |
The sheet, with the brand check as two formulas (Google Sheets or Excel; your brand in place of yourbrand, your domain in place of yourbrand.com):
| Item | A: query | B: country | C: language | D: answer | E: cited_domains | F: status | G: brand named | H: site cited |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Formula | =ISNUMBER(SEARCH("yourbrand", D2)) | =ISNUMBER(SEARCH("yourbrand.com", E2)) | ||||||
| Row 2 | best crm for a small agency | us | en | (the AI Mode answer) | (the cited domains) | success | TRUE or FALSE | TRUE or FALSE |
| Row 3 | crm vs spreadsheet for sales | gb | en | (empty) | (empty) | no_result | FALSE | FALSE |
The mention rate is =COUNTIF(G:G, TRUE) / COUNTIF(F:F, "success"), and the citation rate the same over column H. For your link's place among the sources in Google Sheets: =IFERROR(MATCH("yourbrand.com", SPLIT(E2, ","), 0), "").
What each status means:
| status | What happened | Billed |
|---|---|---|
| success | the AI Mode answer came back | yes, at $1.50 per 1,000 successful results |
| no_result | Google showed no AI Mode answer for that question, place or language; record it, it is a real result | no |
| failed | no result came back | no |
The API has no scheduler of its own: the schedule lives in your tool, as in step 4. For point-and-click scrapers in general, see no-code web scrapers.
Google AI Mode Scraper API pricing
The Google AI Mode scraper API costs $1.50 per 1,000 successful results, or $1.00 from 10,000 successful results in one purchase; you pay only for successful results.

How to scrape Google AI Mode
Send each question through a scraper API (ProxyField's is in development, through Contact sales) and store the answer with the question, the date and the settings; then compare runs. Doing it yourself means opening AI Mode in a real browser, waiting for the answer to be written, and parsing it from a page that Google builds with JavaScript and changes often. Use full-sentence questions: AI Mode gets longer questions than the search box does. AI answers vary by market, so compare like with like.
If you run your own browser scraper instead, it needs IPs in the market you check: ProxyField residential proxies cost $2.95/GB for 1 GB down to $1.95/GB from 1,000 GB, with country, region and city targeting.
AI Mode data for SEO research
AI Mode answers show which brands and pages Google's AI puts in front of searchers for your topics, so they belong next to your rankings:
- Brand visibility: the share of AI Mode answers that name you, and your position against competitors in each answer.
- Source research: the pages AI Mode links for your topics; if competitors' guides are cited and yours are not, you know which page to improve.
- Answer drift: the same questions over weeks, after Google updates or after you publish.
- Rankings plus AI: AI Mode answers next to your Google positions from the Google SERP API.

Google's terms and what we collect
Review Google's terms of service with your counsel before you collect answers at scale. ProxyField's rule for every site: public pages only, and follow the site's terms.
Our own rules apply too. You may use ProxyField for collecting public web data, price and SEO monitoring, ad verification, testing, market research and similar lawful work. You may not use it to access data behind logins you are not entitled to, infringe intellectual property or break the law. Some site categories are restricted to protect the network, including financial and government services. For the wider legal picture, see our guides on scraping law.
This is not legal advice.
Other AI search engines
ProxyField is designing a separate scraper API for each AI engine, each billed on successful results only and each in development through Contact sales:
| API | What it returns | Price per 1,000 successful results |
|---|---|---|
| Google AI Mode scraper API (this page) | the AI Mode answer | $1.50, from $1.00 |
| Google SERP API | the Google results page as JSON, with the AI Overview, the People Also Ask block and the local pack parsed | $1.20, from $0.80 |
| ChatGPT scraper API | the ChatGPT answer | $1.50, from $1.00 |
| Perplexity scraper API | the Perplexity answer | $1.50, from $1.00 |
There is no API for other AI assistants. The AI Search Scraper API page compares the four side by side. For any other public URL, the Web Scraping API returns the page, from $0.20 per 1,000 successful results.
Start collecting AI Mode answers
Tell sales how many queries you plan to run each month and in which markets: the price is $1.50 per 1,000 successful results, or $1.00 from 10,000 results in one purchase.
Google AI Mode Scraper API FAQ
24/7 support by live chat, including help with setup and integration.
Which SERP APIs return Google AI Overviews and AI Mode results?
ProxyField's two APIs are designed to cover both, and both are in development (Contact sales): the Google SERP API parses the AI Overview in the same request as the results page for $1.20 per 1,000 successful results, and the Google AI Mode scraper API returns the AI Mode answer for $1.50 per 1,000. Five other providers published an AI Mode price, from $2.50 to $7.25 per 1,000 at 100,000 answers; they are named on our SERP API price comparison. Whichever you pick, check for a separate AI Mode endpoint, the Overview in the same request and no charge when Google shows no AI answer.
Can I scrape Google AI Mode answers without writing code?
Yes. Today you can copy answers by hand or run a point-and-click AI Mode scraper from a scraping marketplace: type the questions, pick the country and language, press run and export a CSV; those tools cost $17.10 to $44.10 per 1,000 answers at 1,000 answers on our SERP API price comparison (October 25, 2026). ProxyField has no form of its own; once its API opens (in development, Contact sales), one HTTP step in n8n, Make or Zapier sends questions from a Google Sheet and writes the answers back, and 100 questions would cost $0.15. Two sheet formulas, =ISNUMBER(SEARCH("yourbrand", D2)) on the answer and the same on the cited domains, give the brand check.
How can I track whether my brand appears in Google AI Overviews for my target keywords?
Run a fixed keyword list on a schedule and record, per keyword, whether an AI Overview appeared, whether it named your brand and whether it linked your site; Search Console shows clicks from AI features but not mentions. Today you can do it by hand, with a free checker such as SEO.com's (3 checks a day) or with a tracking tool such as Keyword.com's AI Visibility plan at $9.80 a month. To build your own tracker from raw data, ProxyField's Google SERP API (in development, Contact sales) would cost about $5.16 a month for 1,000 keywords checked weekly, with your organic rank in the same response.
Which tools track brand mentions in Google AI Overviews, and what do they cost?
Google Search Console and the SEO.com AI Overview Checker cost nothing, but the first shows only clicks and the second is a one-off check of 100 keywords; Keyword.com's AI Visibility plan started at $9.80 a month, ZipTie's Starter at $25.65 a month, and SE Ranking sold an AI Search add-on at €79 a month on top of a €109 Core plan. ProxyField's SERP API, in development, is the raw-data route: about $5.16 a month for 1,000 weekly keywords, with the analysis in your own sheet.
What is the difference between an AI Overview tracker and an AI Overview checker?
A checker looks up keywords once and shows whether an AI Overview appears and what it cites; the SEO.com checker, for example, scans a site's top 100 keywords, 3 times a day at no charge. A tracker runs your whole keyword list on a schedule and keeps the history, so you can read trigger, mention and citation rates over time. With ProxyField's SERP API (in development) you would build the tracker yourself, at $1.20 per 1,000 results.
Do AI Overviews appear for every keyword?
No. Google shows an AI Overview only for some queries, and the same keyword can show one on one day or in one country and not the next, so measure the trigger rate over several days. In ProxyField's SERP API design, ai_overview.status is present, absent or error on every results page, so a keyword without an Overview is still a recorded result.
