The overview in one request
The block arrives parsed the first time, with the same parameters as Google Search. Other APIs hand back a token that expires within minutes and bill a second call.

What the Google AI Overview API returns
Ordered text blocks
paragraph, heading, list, table and code_block in the order Google renders them, each with its snippet and citation indexes.
Cited sources with positions
references carry title, link, snippet and source for every citation, and the link is the cited page itself.
Any country, language and device
gl, hl, google_domain, a named location or coordinates, and desktop, tablet or mobile layouts.
An honest miss
A query Google shows no overview for says so instead of returning an empty block, and a Google-side failure is reported as Google gave it.
