From $2.18 per 1,000 Failed requests are free Async task type GROK Grok fields and prices

Body

prompt string required

Prompt submitted to Grok, up to 2,000 characters. A longer prompt is refused with a 400 that states its length.

country string required

Code of the country or region used to localize the response

include object

Flags that add extra output formats to the response (optional)

5 properties

include.markdown boolean

Add a markdown version of the response to the result

include.html boolean

A link to the answer's own public page on grok.com, in html, to check the answer against. No extra cost.

include.rawResponse boolean

Return the answer as normalized stream events. For the engine's answer as received, use include.rawWire.

include.rawWire boolean

Return the engine's own response as received in result.rawWire: the answer stream, the rendered results pages or the RSS feed, without Gemini's detected location or ChatGPT's session tokens; null where it was not captured. Free. See https://answerline.dev/docs/output-formats#raw-wire

include.screenshot boolean

Return a full-page PNG screenshot of the engine's page as it showed the finished answer, in result.screenshot: a link, or one link per results page on Google Search. On ChatGPT, Gemini, AI Mode, Google Search, Perplexity and Grok; other engines refuse it with a 400. Absent when the answer was read without a rendered page or its page was not available. Free. See https://answerline.dev/docs/output-formats#screenshots

state string

US state code (e.g. "CA", "DC" included). Sent without a country, the request asks for the US; sent with any country other than "US", it is refused with a 400, uncharged. ChatGPT and Gemini answer as a person in that state sees it; every other engine accepts it and answers for the whole US, at the price of a request without it. provenance.requestedState reports the state asked. See https://answerline.dev/docs/coverage#states

answerDepth "any" | "full" | "quick"

Accepted so existing requests stay valid; it does not change the answer or the price. Every engine writes one depth: Perplexity answers every request with its Quick Search answer, and provenance.answerDepth says quick. See https://answerline.dev/docs/engine-features/#answer-depth

Returns

result.text string

Text of the answer from Grok

result.html string

Present when include.html is true: the link to the answer's public page on grok.com.

result.sources object[]

Sources the response cites, with extra metadata

result.searchQueries string[]

Searches Grok ran to collect material for the response

result.model string

Identifier of the model that produced the response

result.relatedQueries string[]

Follow-up questions Grok suggests under its answer, in its order. Absent when it suggests none.

result.markdown string

Grok's answer rendered as Markdown (returned if include.markdown is set to true)

result.rawResponse object[]

The answer as normalized stream events (present when include.rawResponse is true). For the engine's answer as received, use include.rawWire.

result.screenshot string

Present when include.screenshot is true and the answer's public page on grok.com was available: the link to its PNG screenshot.

result.citationPills object[]

Kept so every chat engine has the same shape. Grok shows no citation pills, so this is always empty; its citations are in sources.

result.links object[]

The links in the answer's text, in the order a reader meets them: one entry per web (http or https) link the answer shows, images and code aside, with the words it shows (text), where it goes (url), its domain and its 1-based position. Sources cited by pills are in citationPills; links to the same page appear in both when the answer does both. Empty when the text links nowhere.
