Collect questions shown in Google Search’s People Also Ask section and the answer content Google displays with them. Each dataset row represents one question. When available, the answer can include text, headings, paragraphs, lists, citation links, images, and video links.

If Google labels expanded content as “AI Overview,” the row identifies it as an AI Overview. Source links are included as they appear on the page; linked pages are not opened.

How to use

  1. Enter one or more search phrases, or provide public Google Search URLs in startUrls.
  2. Select result pages and the maximum number of questions to collect.
  3. Choose whether to include answers and visible citations.
  4. Run the Actor and view or export the question records.

Example:

{
"queries": ["web scraping", "structured data"],
"page": 1,
"maxPages": 2,
"maxItems": 25,
"language": "en",
"country": "US",
"includeAnswers": true,
"includeSources": true,
"maxPaaExpansions": 5
}

Output

Each row contains a required question and may include:

  • Answer text: answerText (also available as answer) and a clean HTML representation.
  • Structure: headline, subheadings, paragraphs, bullet points, and grouped answer sections.
  • Citations: visible source links, citation count, and source domains.
  • Media: images and video links shown with the answer.
  • Answer type and attribution: including the ai_overview label when Google visibly identifies an answer as an AI Overview.

Question rows may still be returned when answer details are not available. The Actor does not fetch cited pages or combine separate related-result cards with the answer.

Example dataset item:

{
"question": "Why is the sky blue?",
"answerText": "The sky appears blue because air scatters blue light from the sun more than other colors.",
"answerType": "ai_overview",
"answerHeadline": "How It Works",
"answerBulletPoints": ["Sunlight contains all colors."],
"answerSources": [
{
"title": "Rayleigh scattering",
"linkUrl": "https://spaceplace.nasa.gov/blue-sky/",
"domain": "spaceplace.nasa.gov"
}
]
}

The Output tab shows the available result fields. Run summary information is available with the run output in Apify.
