Response

Response fields and example

This example is illustrative, not a captured live response. Variable-cost operations may settle a charge different from the list price below. A successful response puts the platform payload in data and reports the exact credits used, remaining balance, request id and cache status beside it.

The example is illustrative and shows a documented subset of data. The fields below are optional across supported sources; nullable fields can also be absent. Preserve unknown values and accept additional fields.

Schema basis: observed response shapes, not an exhaustive field specification. See schema coverage and validation limits.

Download the data JSON Schema. Validate response.data, not the whole envelope. A valid shape does not establish that every field or source record was returned.

Field inside data	Type	Meaning
`_warnings`	`array \| null`	Optional warnings supplied by this operation. Null means unknown.
`count`	`number \| null`	Number of records in this response, not lifetime or total matches.
`items`	`array \| null`	Returned records. Source coverage and completeness vary.
`items[].author`	`string \| null`	Public author information supplied with this record.
`items[].author_url`	`string \| null`	Optional author url supplied by this operation. Null means unknown.
`items[].published_at`	`string \| null`	Source publication time when available.
`items[].rating`	`number \| null`	Source rating; read its accompanying scale and vote count.
`items[].relative_time`	`string \| null`	Optional relative time supplied by this operation. Null means unknown.
`items[].text`	`string \| null`	Source text when supplied.
`items[].url`	`string \| null`	Original source URL when supplied.
`place`	`object \| null`	Optional place supplied by this operation. Null means unknown.
`place.id`	`string \| null`	Source identifier. Preserve the supplied type and exact value.
`place.name`	`string \| null`	Optional name supplied by this operation. Null means unknown.
`place.rating`	`number \| null`	Source rating; read its accompanying scale and vote count.
`place.rating_count`	`number \| null`	Optional rating count supplied by this operation. Null means unknown.

Optional fields reviewed from preserved successful responses. Additive fields and source variations remain allowed; validate the fields your workflow requires.

The example is invented and illustrates types only; zero and empty values are not claims about a real result.

Failures use the typed error envelope. A confirmed uncharged or refunded failure reports zero; a pending reconciliation can report an unknown charge. Read credits_used and error.details.billing_status, and keep request_id for recovery. Response contract · Error reference
