# Google search API

> Search Google and get results, the AI Overview, the knowledge panel and related questions. Call the Google search API for JSON. From 1 credit per call.

* **Endpoint:** `google.search`
* **Returns:** `data` has `results`, `aiOverview`, `knowledgeGraph`, `peopleAlsoAsk`, `relatedSearches`, `isPartial`.
* **Cost:** 1 credit per 10 results returned, never more than you asked for (10 credits at most). Failed calls cost nothing.
* **Paging:** No.

Filter with `within`, `country`, `language`, and domains to include or exclude. Keys a result does not have are left out. Without a key you get up to 10 results.

  description: >-
    Every endpoint is a POST that takes its input as a JSON object body. Unknown
    fields are rejected with 400.


    Responses leave out empty values: null, empty strings, empty objects and
    empty nested lists are not sent.


    x-credits is what one call costs. Every call costs the same, whatever it
    returns, unless an operation's description sets a price scale. Then
    x-credits is the lowest price and x-credits-max the highest.


    When a response has a cursor, send it back with the same input to get the
    next page.
