Oxylabs Google AI Mode Scraper API

Capability: Oxylabs Google AI Mode Scraper API

Use it when

  • You need to monitor how your brand or content is cited in Google AI Mode answers across different countries for SEO or GEO analysis
  • You are building a dataset of real Google AI search responses and keep getting blocked or CAPTCHAd when scraping them yourself

What it solves

Not the fit when

  • prompts over 400 characters (hard API limit)
  • users without a paid Oxylabs subscription or trial credentials
  • use cases where scraping Google AI content may conflict with Google terms of service; the vendor advises legal review
  • scraping arbitrary non-Google websites
  • self-hosted scraping without a third-party service
  • submitting prompts longer than 400 characters
  • classic organic SERP rank tracking

Install

pip install requests  # client only; requires Oxylabs Web Scraper API credentials from dashboard.oxylabs.io (free trial available)

Invoke

POST https://realtime.oxylabs.io/v1/queries with auth=(USERNAME, PASSWORD) and JSON payload {source: 'google_ai_mode', query: '<prompt up to 400 chars>', render: 'html', parse: true, geo_location: 'United States'}; response JSON contains content.response_text, content.citations, and content.links
