Is Google's AI Overview quoting you or your competitor?

The Google AI Overview API loads the complete AI Overview for a Google search and returns it as one row. You get the answer split into ordered text blocks: paragraphs, headings and list items, with the links inside the text. You also get the cited sources with title, site name, link and the snippet Google took from each. One call costs €0.00075, so 1,000 overviews cost €0.75. That's half the price of a search call. It doesn't return the ranked results; those come from the search call. Every source and price is on our page of all data APIs and prices. Every overview you expand is saved in your Scrapewise account, so you can read it in the table, export Excel, ask your AI assistant or pull it by API.

It comes with a normal Google search. Google often loads the full AI Overview a moment after the results page, so the page alone only has part of it. Paste a Google Search link and tick Also get the AI Overview, and we fetch the complete version in the same run.

Why track it? For many questions buyers ask, the AI Overview is the first thing on the page, above every blue link. If it cites three sites and yours isn't one of them, your position 2 ranking sits below an answer that doesn't mention you. Tracking which sources get cited, week by week, is the closest thing to rank tracking for AI answers.

Who uses the Google AI Overview API

  • SEO and content teams

    Check whether your pages are cited for your target keywords, and which competitor pages are cited instead.

  • Agencies reporting AI visibility

    Show clients their citation share across a keyword set before and after a content update, with dated rows as evidence.

  • Sellers and brands

    Read what the overview says about your product type or brand name. If it repeats an old price or a wrong claim, you see it in the text.

  • Researchers and writers

    Collect the sources Google trusts for a topic, then read those pages to see what they cover that yours doesn't.

How it works

  1. Run the Google search

    Search your keyword on Google and paste the link from your browser. When Google has an AI Overview for it, the full version loads after the results.

  2. Expand the overview

    Tick Also get the AI Overview under the link. You get the full overview text and sources for €0.00075, saved with its date in your database.

  3. Check the sources

    Search the source columns for your domain in the table or Excel, pull rows by API, or ask your AI assistant: 'which overviews this month cited my competitor and not me?'

Set it up once. The data keeps coming.

Save your search once and it runs by itself. Every run lands in your own Scrapewise database, and you pick how to read it.

  1. Set it up once

    Add your ASINs, keywords, places or apps to a scraper in the web app. New accounts get 5 free requests.

  2. Runs on your schedule

    Pick daily, weekly on the days you choose, every few days, or the first or last day of the month. Scheduled runs start at night, European time. Need it more often? Start runs from your own code.

  3. Saved in your database

    Each run adds dated rows, so this week sits next to last week. Rows are kept for 90 days.

  4. Use it your way

    Open the table in the web app and download the latest run as an Excel file. Ask your own AI assistant about it. Or pull the rows into your code with an API key.

Ask your AI assistant about your own data

Connect Claude Desktop or Claude Code with a read-only key. The assistant reads the rows you've already collected, at no extra cost on Scrapewise. With a full-access key it can start a run for you too.

  • Which of my ASINs lost the Buy Box this week?
  • Which competitor cut prices the most since Monday?
  • Show the keywords where I dropped out of the top 10.

Column guide

One overview is one wide row. Text blocks are numbered in reading order from 0, and each block has a type: paragraph, heading or list. List items and inline links are numbered inside their block. Sources are numbered from 0 as well. The sw columns (sw status, sw source url and sw fetched at) are on every row of every Scrapewise data API.

Standard columns shared with every API

sw status shows whether the call worked, sw source url is the search the overview belongs to, and sw fetched at is the time in UTC.

  • sw status
  • sw source url
  • sw fetched at

Overview state

Shows whether the full overview loaded, for example complete.

Text blocks 1 to 4

What teams do with AI Overview data

01

Track whether your site is cited

For 50 target keywords, check every week if your domain appears in the source columns. Chart the count over time.

02

See which competitors get cited

Count citations by site name across your keyword set. In our "what is the amazon buy box" sample, a seller tool blog and Amazon's own seller site are cited first.

03

Find content gaps

Read the headings and list items in the overview and tick off which points your page covers. The ones you miss are your next edits.

04

Report AI visibility to clients

Show citation share before and after a content update. Each row has the collection time, so the report is easy to back up.

05

Catch wrong claims about your brand

Save the overview text for your brand name and product names weekly and flag changes. An outdated fee or feature in the text is worth fixing at the source page.

Real setups and what they cost

    A content team tracks 50 keywords every week. About 217 overview calls cost €0.16 a month, plus €0.33 for the 217 Google searches that run first, so roughly €0.49 in total.

Google often loads the full AI Overview after the results page, so the search page may only hold part of it. When you tick Also get the AI Overview, we fetch the full overview right after the search, in the same run.
