Track brand mentions and citations in Google AI Overviews

Measure how often important queries trigger an overview, then inspect cited domains and brand mentions on the queries that do.

Step 1

How to collect Google AI Overviews answers with the API

Store your dashboard API key in the server environment variable QUERYING_API_KEY, then run this request. The country code selects the collection market, and the prompt is sent in the language you wrote it in.

cURL

curl -X POST https://api.querying.ai/v1/async/task \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $QUERYING_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
  "taskType": "GOOGLE",
  "payload": {
    "query": "best wireless earbuds for commuting",
    "country": "US"
  }
}'

Step 2

Read the completed response

Replace TASK_ID with task.id from the submission. Poll at intervals while QUEUED or PROCESSING; when COMPLETED, read the engine fields inside response. Handle FAILED as an error. Retrieve and store the result within 24 hours of completion, or receive it by webhook.

cURL

curl https://api.querying.ai/v1/async/task/TASK_ID \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $QUERYING_API_KEY"

Cost and availability

Only completed tasks are charged, at 1.25 credits each. Check supported regions and plan concurrency.

Reading the results

Google decides per search whether to show an AI Overview, and the choice varies by market and query. Every completed result records whether an overview appeared, which gives you the overview rate for your keyword set.
