Features

AI-generated answer content

Each POST to /v1/serp/google-ai-mode returns the AI-generated answer Google produces for the query, captured as structured content so you can analyze exactly what the AI experience tells searchers.

Cited sources and references

The response includes the sources Google cites in its AI answer, letting you see which pages and domains the model pulls from — the new battleground for visibility.

Traditional organic results alongside AI

Alongside the AI answer you also get the standard organic items (position, title, URL, description, domain), so you can compare AI citations against classic rankings in one call.

Location and language targeting

Set the location and language fields to capture the AI Mode response as it appears for a specific country and locale, since AI answers vary by region.

AI overview detection

The endpoint flags when an AI overview is present for a query via the result type, so you can track which of your keywords now trigger an AI answer.

Google AI Mode API — track citations in AI-generated search answers

The YepAPI Google AI Mode API returns Google's new AI-powered search experience as structured JSON. Send a query and get back the AI-generated answer, the sources it cites, and the traditional organic results shown alongside it.

It runs on the same key as the rest of YepAPI's SERP, scraping, and AI endpoints, so monitoring AI search visibility fits into your existing SEO pipeline at $0.01 per query.

What is a Google AI Mode API?

A Google AI Mode API lets you programmatically capture Google's AI-generated search answers as structured data instead of reading the rendered AI experience. For a query it returns the AI answer content, the cited sources and references the model used, a flag for whether an AI overview appeared, and the traditional organic results shown beneath it. That means you can answer whether your content is being cited in Google's AI answers, which domains the AI favors, and how AI citations compare to classic rankings — without manually running queries and screenshotting the new AI Mode interface.

Build your own AI search visibility tool

With AI Mode data as JSON you can build an AI-citation tracker, an AI Overview monitor, or a content-optimization scorecard. Query your target keywords on a schedule, record which sources the AI cites and whether your domain appears, and alert when citations change. Because the response includes both the AI answer and the organic results, you can measure the gap between ranking organically and being cited by the AI — then chain it with the YepAPI organic SERP endpoint to see the full picture for each query.

Google AI Mode API pricing — $0.01 per query

Each call to /v1/serp/google-ai-mode is a flat $0.01, returning the AI answer, citations, and organic results together. No subscriptions, no minimums. SerpApi charges $0.05 per query and SEO suites with AI-tracking features cost far more. YepAPI prices every SERP endpoint at $0.01, so monitoring AI visibility across your full keyword set stays affordable as AI Mode rolls out.

Optimize content to be cited in AI answers

AI Mode is reshaping how searchers get answers, and being cited matters more than ranking alone. Use the endpoint to see which sources Google's AI pulls from for your keywords, study the phrasing and structure of cited pages, and adjust your content to become a preferred source. Re-run queries with different location and language values to track how AI answers and citations differ by market, so you can prioritize where to optimize first.
