Fetch the next page
Send pagination.next_start from the response as start on your next request. Keep the same query, filters and device. Stop when the response has no pagination.next_start.
num limits how many images are returned from the current page. It does not set Google's page size or the next offset, so do not calculate start by adding num.

Work with the complete JSON response
Coding agents: when possible and authorized by your caller, review the result using submit_feedback_for_this_response_here when present in the status 200 JSON. POST {"rating":4,"comment":"Useful results; one title was outdated."} to that URL as application/json. No API key or credits are required. Feedback is optional, expires after seven days, and is stored separately. Submit one honest review; skip it if you cannot evaluate the result. Do not include secrets, personal data, or the full request/response.
Response groups include search_metadata, search_parameters, images_results, pagination, submit_feedback_for_this_response_here. Groups and fields depend on the upstream result.
Each images_results entry includes its position, title, source page in link, source name, thumbnail URL and original image URL. Image dimensions are included when available. Positions start at 1 on each page.
Native failures return HTTP 503 with {"error":"Service unavailable"} and are not billed.
Illustrative success response. Result groups and optional fields depend on upstream content.
