// 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 POST {"rating":4,"comment":"Useful results; one title was outdated."} to that URL as application/json.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, organic_results, ads, ai_overview, answer_box, knowledge_graph, local_map, local_results, pagination, related_questions, related_searches, ask_ai_mode, available_on, broaden_searches, complementary_results, discover_more_places, discussions_and_forums, episode_guide, events_results, filters, flight_result, immersive_products, inline_images, inline_videos, jobs_results, news_results, perspectives, places_sites, recipes_results, refine_by, related_brands, related_categories, scholarly_articles, shopping_results, categorized_shopping_results, short_videos, sports_results, top_sights, top_stories, video_results, finance_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.
