Google Ask AI Mode API (NEW API)

We released a new Google Ask AI Mode API, which provides structured access to Google’s experimental AI Mode results. This API captures the AI-generated question cards—such as product comparisons, local activities, and how-to queries—directly from Google Search. With it, developers can now programmatically retrieve these AI-driven suggestions, complete with links, images, and structured metadata. Details
