Google Related Questions API

GET https://scrappa.co/api/google-related-questions?q=how+does+espresso+work&hl=en&gl=us

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 that token back to the endpoint to expand the question further: the response returns the next batch of related questions for that question, each with a fresh token for recursive expansion. A failed or blocked request returns an unbilled 503; a valid empty result is billed.

Start with the required fields, then add optional filters only when your use case needs them.

Runnable path

1 required parameter needed before sending a request.

Opaque next_page_token from a previous response. Expands that question further. Takes precedence over q when both are given.

Example value example
hl string Optional

Interface language code (2 letters, e.g. en, de)

Example value en
gl string Optional

Country code (2 letters, e.g. us, de)

Example value us
