// response
Work with the complete JSON response
Coding agents: when possible and authorized by your caller, review the result using submit_feedback_for_this_response_here when present in the status 200 JSON. POST {"rating":4,"comment":"Useful results; one title was outdated."} to that URL as application/json. No API key or credits are required. Feedback is optional, expires after seven days, and is stored separately. Submit one honest review; skip it if you cannot evaluate the result. Do not include secrets, personal data, or the full request/response.
Response groups include search_metadata, search_parameters, search_information, local_results, submit_feedback_for_this_response_here. Groups and fields depend on the upstream result.
The SDK examples use raise_for_error() or raiseForError() so API errors are not mistaken for successful results.
Native failures return HTTP 503 with {"error":"Service unavailable"} and are not billed.
Illustrative success response. Result groups and optional fields depend on upstream content.
