Google About This Result Scraper

Scrapes source-backed metadata and search relationship factors from Google About This Result pages.

What this Actor collects

The Actor converts Google's About This Result disclosures into one clean JSON record per inspected search result, including result identity, source and entity details, relationship factors, panel metadata, locale, and retrieval provenance when available.

• Uses the input limits and filters below to control the crawl.
• Stores source-backed fields defined by the 37-field dataset schema.
• Omits optional fields when the source does not expose a value instead of writing nulls or fabricated placeholders.

Use cases

• Entity research
• Search-result verification
• Knowledge-graph enrichment

Input

Provide input in JSON. Fields marked required must be supplied. The Default / example column shows a schema default when one exists; otherwise it shows a documented prefill or fixture value.

Field	Type	Required	Default / example	Description
query	string	Yes	"OpenAI"	Search term to look up on Google
maxItems	integer	No	10	Maximum number of results to extract About This Result info for
gl	string	No	"us"	Country code for localized results (e.g., us, uk, in)
hl	string	No	"en"	Language code (e.g., en, es, fr)
proxyConfiguration	object	No	{"useApifyProxy":true,"apifyProxyGroups":["GOOGLE_SERP"]}	Proxy used to load Google result pages. GOOGLE_SERP is recommended.
panelProxyConfiguration	object	No	{"useApifyProxy":true,"apifyProxyGroups":["RESIDENTIAL"]}	Proxy used to fetch Google's embedded About This Result pages. Residential sessions are recommended.

Example input

{
  "query": "ai",
  "maxItems": 20,

    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [
      "GOOGLE_SERP"
