01 / THE OVERVIEW

What is a Gemini scraper?

AdsCrawl Gemini Scraper is the Gemini capture capability in AI Search Insights. Send a question to Gemini with your chosen proxy region and browser language, then collect the answer and the source information available during that capture. Explore a question in the console or set platform to gemini in POST /ai-search to collect responses from your own application.

02 / THE DATA

Keep the answer and its references.

Read the Gemini response and review cited and retrieved sources separately. Keep task and capture context with the data for content research, brand visibility and GEO analysis.

01Gemini answer textresult_text: The captured answer to your prompt. Read how Gemini explains a topic, describes a product or mentions a brand, then process the text in your own analysis.
02Sources cited in the answercited_sources: Available references cited in the Gemini response. Use them to follow the supporting content and investigate the pages associated with an answer.
03Retrieved source informationretrieved_sources: Source information retrieved during the response, when available. Review it alongside cited_sources while keeping retrieved material distinct from references actually cited.
04Observed ad informationads: Ad information that appears during the capture, if any. Its presence depends on the content shown for that request.
05Proxy-region contextcountry_code: The proxy region associated with the request. Retain it with the prompt when grouping or comparing captures from different regional settings.
06Browser-language contextlocale: The browser language used for the capture. Keep this context when comparing responses; the answer language is requested separately in your prompt.
07Observed exit networkcapture_context.network: The network context observed during capture. Check the actual exit alongside country_code when interpreting a regional comparison.
08Capture task IDtask_id: The capture identifier. Save it with your own prompt and results so a particular request can be traced when reviewing an issue.

Citations, retrieved sources and ads depend on what appears in each capture and may be empty.

03 / THE CONTEXT

Keep the context with every capture.

Choose a proxy region, browser language and timeout in the console, then carry those settings into your API request.

Residential proxy routing

Gemini capture requests use dynamic residential proxies. Configure the request in AdsCrawl without setting up separate proxy infrastructure for each capture.

A region for each question

Choose a supported proxy region, or use Global for a random exit across supported regions. Keep the observed network context with the result; choosing a region does not guarantee access or a particular response.

Language with clear intent

Let the browser language follow the proxy region or choose it manually. Ask for the desired answer language in the prompt, such as requesting a response in English or Chinese.

Explicit request timeouts

Set the overall capture timeout from 10 to 120 seconds in the console. The API uses timeoutMs in milliseconds. Allow additional time in your HTTP client to receive the result.

04 / FROM DATA TO DECISIONS

Research how Gemini describes your category.

Capture the questions your audience asks to study brand mentions, cited content and competitor information. Ask the same questions through the ChatGPT scraper to compare platforms in your own generative engine optimization (GEO) workflow.

See how Gemini recommends your category

Collect answers to product-discovery and comparison questions your customers ask. Look for brand mentions, descriptions and alternatives to understand your presence in Gemini recommendations and inform your GEO research.

Follow the content behind an answer

Review the citations Gemini presents and the available retrieved sources. Investigate which pages support the response, then use those observations to plan useful content or verify a claim.

Compare platforms and changes over time

Use the same prompts with Gemini and ChatGPT, retaining each capture's language and network context. Schedule API calls in your own workflow and store dated results to compare brand mentions and sources as answers change.

05 / API INTEGRATION

Add Gemini capture to your workflow.

Select Gemini in AI Search Insights, inspect your request settings, then use platform: gemini with the same /ai-search endpoint.

1
Choose Gemini and enter a question
Open AI Search Insights and select Gemini. Write the prompt you want to investigate, then choose the proxy region, browser language and overall timeout.
2
Review the answer and its evidence
Run a capture in the console and inspect the returned text, available sources and network context. Decide which fields belong in your research or monitoring workflow.
3
Connect the API to your workflow
Open API integration to copy the request for your settings. Replace YOUR_API_KEY on your server and send POST /ai-search with platform set to gemini. Save responses in your own application for further analysis.

Open AI Search Insights

POST /ai-search

curl --request POST 'https://api.adscrawl.net/ai-search' \
  --header 'x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --max-time 140 \
  --data '{
  "platform": "gemini",
  "query": "Recommend a few good-value phones and include reference sources.",
  "country_code": "GLOBAL",
  "timeoutMs": 120000
}'

Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your API key and run the request on your server. The example sets a 120-second task timeout and allows 140 seconds for the cURL response.

06 / FAQ

Gemini scraping questions

What does the Gemini Scraper API return?

It captures Gemini answer text and the cited sources, retrieved sources and ad information available during the request. The API also exposes the proxy region, browser language, observed exit network and task ID, so you can interpret the answer with its capture context.

Will every Gemini response contain citations or ads?

No. Available sources and ads depend on the prompt and what Gemini presents during capture. Some answers have none. Check each returned field before using it, and do not interpret an empty field as evidence that a topic has no supporting information elsewhere.

How can I collect a Gemini answer in a specific language?

State the requested language in your prompt, for example, asking Gemini to answer in Chinese. The browser-language control sets the browsing context. Automatic follows the proxy region; changing that setting alone does not require the answer to use the same language.

Can I compare Gemini answers with ChatGPT?

Yes. Both platforms are available in AI Search Insights and use POST /ai-search. Send separate requests with platform set to gemini or chatgpt. Keep the prompt and relevant settings consistent, retain each capture's context and compare the text and available sources in your own application. Answers can vary between runs.

Can I monitor brand mentions in Gemini over time?

You can schedule repeated API requests in your own system and save dated results. Define the brand names, topics and citation measures you want to compare, then analyze the captures over time. AdsCrawl supplies the collected data; your workflow handles scheduling, storage and scoring.

Can I try Gemini Scraper before writing an integration?

Yes. Select Gemini in the AI Search Insights console, configure a question and inspect the result. The API integration panel provides a cURL request based on your settings. Gemini and ChatGPT are available; Google AI Mode and Google AI Overview remain marked Coming soon.
