Failed queries

Every query Gemini can't return a result for is written to a separate errors dataset instead of the main one - so your results stay clean and you can still see exactly which queries failed and why. Open it from the Failed queries link on the run's output, or under Storage → Datasets.

{
    "query": "best web scraping tools 2025",
    "error": "No result returned for the query."
}

Frequently asked questions

Is it legal to scrape Google Gemini results?

Web scraping of publicly available data is generally legal in most jurisdictions. Google Gemini results are publicly accessible to anyone performing a search. This Actor collects the same information a regular user would see. Always review and comply with applicable terms of service and local regulations for your specific use case.

Is there a Google Gemini API?

Google offers a Gemini API for developers, but it gives you raw model completions - not the web-grounded search answers with cited sources that Gemini shows in the search experience. Gemini Search Scraper fills this gap: it provides a REST API endpoint that returns structured Gemini search results, including the answer text and its sources, for any query. You get an API key with your Apify account and can call it from any programming language or automation tool.

What are the best use cases for Gemini scraping?

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

Can I integrate Gemini Search 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. Schedule runs on any cadence - hourly, daily, weekly - for fully automated monitoring.
