Google AI Mode Scraper extracts AI Mode results from Google Search at scale. Enter your search queries and get back clean, structured data - including the AI-generated answer text, cited sources with URLs, and metadata - ready for analysis, monitoring, or integration into your workflows.

Google's AI Mode is a newer conversational search experience that generates detailed, multi-paragraph answers. This Actor wraps a battle-tested Google Search Actor so you don't need to worry about proxies, browser fingerprinting, or parsing - just provide your queries and collect the output.

What can Google AI Mode Scraper do?

• Extract AI Mode answers - Get the full AI-generated text that Google produces for each query

• Collect cited sources - Capture every source title and URL that Google references in its AI Mode response

• Mobile and desktop support - AI Mode appears more frequently on mobile; toggle between mobile and desktop results

• Multi-country, multi-language - Target specific Google country domains and languages to see localized AI Mode results

• Structured JSON output - Every result is returned as clean JSON, ready for downstream processing

• Apify platform benefits - Access results via REST API, schedule recurring runs with cron expressions, integrate with Zapier/Make/Google Sheets, and leverage automatic proxy rotation

• Batch processing - Submit hundreds of queries in a single run and collect all results from one dataset

How to scrape Google AI Mode results

1. Go to the Actor page - Navigate to Google AI Mode Scraper on Apify Store and click Try for free.

2. Enter your search queries - In the Input tab, type or paste your queries into the Queries field, one per line. For example: best project management tools, how does photosynthesis work.

3. Configure search settings - Choose your target country code (e.g., US, GB, DE) and search language. Keep Mobile results enabled (default) since AI Mode triggers more consistently on mobile.

4. Start the run - Click Start and wait for the Actor to process your queries. The run time depends on how many queries you submitted - most runs finish within a few minutes.

5. Export your data - Once the run completes, go to the Dataset tab to preview results. Export as JSON, CSV, Excel, or connect directly to Google Sheets, Zapier, or Make.

6. Automate with the API - Use the Apify API or schedule the Actor to run daily or weekly for ongoing AI Mode monitoring. Every run produces a new dataset you can fetch programmatically.

How much does it cost to scrape Google AI Mode?

Google AI Mode Scraper runs on the Apify platform, which gives every new user $5 in free credits each month - enough for hundreds of queries.

The Actor consumes compute units based on run time and memory usage. A typical run of 50 queries costs roughly $0.10–$0.50 depending on configuration. You can check exact costs after each run in your Apify dashboard.

For high-volume scraping (thousands of queries per day), the platform scales automatically. No infrastructure to manage.

The most popular use cases include SEO and brand monitoring (track how Google's AI Mode describes your brand), competitive analysis (compare how AI Mode answers queries about you vs. competitors), content research (discover what sources Google AI Mode cites for your target topics), and AI search trend tracking (monitor how AI-generated answers evolve over time).

Can I integrate Google AI Mode Scraper with other tools?

Yes. Apify offers native integrations with Zapier, Make (Integromat), Google Sheets, Slack, webhooks, and more. You can also use the Apify API or Apify Python/JavaScript clients to pull data into your own applications, dashboards, or data pipelines.
