People Also Ask Questions with Token-Based Expansion

Fetch the People Also Ask (related questions) block of a Google Search result as structured JSON. Each question carries its answer snippet, source link and an opaque next_page_token. Pass the token back to expand that question further and get the next batch of related questions, each with a fresh token for recursive expansion. SerpApi google_related_questions compatible naming.

What you can build

Structured data for real applications. Here are some ideas.

Content Gap Discovery

Expand one question after another to discover the real questions your audience asks, then build articles and FAQs that answer them directly.

People Also Ask Research

Pull the related questions Google shows for a topic and expand them recursively to map the full question graph for content research and topic clustering.

SEO and SERP Monitoring

Track how the People Also Ask block changes for your target keywords over time, with stable field names and per-question expansion tokens.

Frequently asked questions

It returns the People Also Ask block of a Google Search result as JSON. Send a query such as "how does espresso work" with hl and gl and get a related_questions array: each entry carries the question, its answer snippet, the source link, the displayed link and an opaque next_page_token. Field names follow the SerpApi google_related_questions convention.

There is no page parameter. Every question in the response carries a next_page_token. Pass that token back to the endpoint as next_page_token and you get the next batch of related questions for that question, each with a fresh token for further expansion. The expansion is recursive; it ends when Google serves no further questions, which is a valid empty billed result.

No. There is no public Google Related Questions API; Scrappa is an independent service and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Google. A Scrappa API key is the only credential - no Google Cloud project and no Google account.

Tokens are per-session and volatile. An expired or invalid token returns an unbilled 503; re-fetch the query to mint fresh tokens. The initial query response always carries new tokens.

Yes. Every Scrappa account includes 500 free credits per month with no credit card required. Requests are $0.20 per 1,000 after that, and a request that returns an error consumes no credits.
