Engine features

Served engines

The API serves ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, Grok, Google AI Mode, Google Search, and Google News. Each engine has its own endpoint and its own response schema; the shared parts (text, sources) have the same names everywhere. This page lists what each served engine accepts and returns, and which fields come back empty on the answers served today.

Include flags

Flags go in include and add fields to the result. A flag an engine doesn't list is rejected as an unknown field.

An empty field stays in the schema with its type, so code written against it keeps working. On ChatGPT the brands an answer names are in text and entities. Today's answers show no merchant cards, so shoppingCards comes back empty, even with include.shopping.

Answer depth

Every engine writes one depth of answer. Perplexity answers every request with its Quick Search answer: one search and a short answer of a few sentences. answerDepth (any, full or quick) is accepted so existing requests stay valid, and it does not change the answer or the price.
