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.

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

Each row contains a required question and may include:

- Citations: visible source links, citation count, and source domains.
- Media: images and video links shown with the answer.

ai_overviewlabel 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.
