Google Search output guide

Google AI Overviews

AI-generated summaries within Google Search, when present.

Part of the google target

Request google to collect Google Search. AI Overview data is returned in aioverview when present; it is null when absent. Google AI Overviews is not a separate accepted target.

Understand the output

AI-generated summaries within Google Search, when present.

When present, aioverview contains text, markdown, sources and aiOverviewCards. Search modules remain separate in serp. An absent overview is not a failed collection. Derive brand mentions and other analytics in your own application.
