`GET /v1/google_search/search`

Organic web results for a query in a chosen location and language, with rank, domain, title and description.

*Google web search*

| Parameter | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `query` | yes | Search terms — e.g. `open source llm` |
| `location` | no | Location name; defaults to the United Kingdom — e.g. `London,England,United Kingdom` |
| `language` | no | Language code — e.g. `en` |
| `limit` | no | Results, up to 100 — e.g. `20` |
| `device` | no | desktop or mobile Accepted values: desktop, mobile. Case, spaces, hyphens and underscores are interchangeable. — e.g. `desktop` |
| `dry_run` | no | Read a zero-credit estimate without fetching sources, running AI, or reserving credits. Cache status is a snapshot, not a guarantee at execution. Accepted values: 1, 0, true, false. Case, spaces, hyphens and underscores are interchangeable. — e.g. `1` |

### Useful optional inputs

- `limit`: Bound the returned rows to what your task needs. A smaller limit does not necessarily reduce source calls or price; inspect the quote.
- `dry_run`: Read a free estimate before fetching sources or scheduling paid work. Zero credits; cache status and availability are snapshots rather than guarantees.

**Cost:** 4 credits at list price per successful uncached response; variable-cost operations may quote or settle a different charge. Confirmed uncharged or refunded failures report zero. Pending reconciliation can report credits_used:null; retain request_id and the original idempotency key.
