What teams build with the Google AI Overview API
AI Overview tracking for SEO
Check your keywords for an AI Overview, and whether it cites your pages or a competitor's, alongside your rankings.
Traffic risk
Find the queries where an overview answers above your organic result, the ones most likely to lose clicks.
Content gaps
Read which sources an overview links and which brands it names for a topic, and where your pages are missing.
Does Google have an API for AI Overviews?
No official API
No. Search Console counts AI Overview clicks in its Web totals, and no Google API returns the overview itself.
Google's guide to AI features says traffic from AI Overviews is included in Search Console's Performance report under the Web search type, with no separate report. It describes no API for an overview's text or links. Gemini's Grounding with Google Search lets a Gemini model search and cite sources, which is a new answer, not the overview Google shows.
Clair searches Google the way a signed-out person does and reads the overview above the results, the part behind Show more included.

Integrate in minutes
One host, one Bearer key for every Clair API. Each call returns JSON with the same envelope, so a second API is a new path, not a new client.

Query and response fields
Searches Google and reads the AI Overview above the results, the part behind Show more included. Google shows one on some searches only, so answer is null on the rest; that is a successful, billed request. Product cards are not counted as sources.

Why is answer null?
Google shows an AI Overview on some searches only. When it shows none, answer is null, and the request is still billed: the search was made.
Is the part behind Show more included?
Yes. Google loads the whole overview and folds it; Clair reads all of it, so a brand named below the fold counts.
What counts as a citation?
A link to a source in the overview or in the source cards beside it. Google's product cards, a product's name linked to some page that mentions it, are not counted.
Does the Google Search API return the overview?
No. The Google Search API returns the organic results and the other blocks on the page; the overview needs a browser to load, so it has its own API and price.
Is the search personalized?
No. Each search is signed out and unpersonalized, from the country you choose.
What does the Google AI Overview API return?
Searches Google the way a signed-out person does and reads the AI Overview above the results, the part behind Show more included, with every source it links. Google shows an overview on some searches only; on the rest, answer is null. Answers change from one search to the next, so nothing is cached.
How is a request counted?
Each call is one request, and each extra page is a new call. A malformed request (400) is not counted, and a request that fails on our side (5xx) is refunded.
Is there a free tier?
Yes. The free tier is $1 of usage a month across every Clair API, with no card: about 86 Google AI Overview API requests if it all goes here. It resets monthly, and calls stop when the balance runs out.
What happens when I use up my plan's balance?
The API returns 429 until the next period, on every plan, and nothing is billed past the balance. An upgrade starts a new month at once, and the unused balance carries over.
Does my plan cover other Clair APIs?
Yes. One plan and one key cover every Clair API, and every call spends from the same monthly balance. Your first call starts the free tier.
