What this Actor collects

The Actor converts Google People Also Ask results into one clean JSON record per question, preserving native expanded answers or clearly labeled source-backed answer snippets, citations, nesting context, locale, and retrieval provenance.

Uses the input limits and filters below to control the crawl.
Stores source-backed fields defined by the 21-field dataset schema.
Omits optional fields when the source does not expose a value instead of writing nulls or fabricated placeholders.

Use cases

Audience-question and topic research
Answer and citation monitoring
FAQ and content-gap 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	`"how does climate change work"`	The search query that triggers PAA panels (e.g. 'how does climate change work')
`maxItems`	integer	No	`20`	Maximum number of PAA question-answer pairs to extract
`expandNested`	boolean	No	`true`	Recursively click nested PAA questions to expand deeper
`gl`	string	No	`"us"`	Two-letter country code (e.g. 'us', 'uk', 'in')
`hl`	string	No	`"en"`	Two-letter language code (e.g. 'en', 'es', 'de')
`proxyConfiguration`	object	No	`{"useApifyProxy":true,"apifyProxyGroups":["GOOGLE_SERP"]}`	Proxy settings for the scraper.

Example input

{
  "query": "how to cook rice",
  "maxItems": 3,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [

  "hl": "en"
}
