Today, we're thrilled to update you on some of the newest engines, improvements, and give you a sneak peek into what’s coming next.

​Google AI Overview API​




The ​Google AI Overview API​ returns Google’s new AI-generated summaries directly from search results. It provides:

  • AI-Generated Summaries - answers generated by Google’s AI. Each summary is divided into text_blocks: paragraphs, headers, or lists, preserving Google’s full logical structure.
  • Linked References - Every fact and section includes a reference_indexes array linking to authoritative sources, such as Wikipedia, YouTube, or media outlets. These are available under the reference_links field, which includes each source’s title, link, snippet, and domain.
  • Related Searches - Contextual follow-ups surfaced by Google’s AI, accessible through the related_searches array, each with its own query text and search link.
  • Structured Text Elements - Responses are organized into semantic blocks:
    • paragraph - a standalone text answer, optionally with a link.
    • header - section titles within the AI Overview.
    • unordered_list - bullet points with nested items (each a paragraph block).
  • Markdown Output - The API also returns a markdown field, giving the AI-generated summary in formatted Markdown.

The structure is the same as in Google ai_overview field, ensuring compatibility with the main Google Search API and making it easy to integrate.

​Airbnb API​


The Airbnb API returns real-time property listings from Airbnb search results, including prices, ratings, and availability. It provides:

  • Property listings - Each result includes title, description, price breakdown, rating, reviews, accommodations, coordinates, badges (like Superhost), and image URLs.
  • Pagination - next_page_token for fetching additional results.

Field structure follows the same pattern as other travel APIs (e.g. Google Hotels), making it easy to reuse the same data model across platforms.

The ​TikTok Profiles API​ returns detailed public profile data from TikTok. It includes:

  • Basic Info - username, name, and bio.

  • Verification & Account Type - is_verified, is_private, and is_business.
  • Links & Metadata - link for the external site, plus optional bio_links, pronouns, and category.
  • Engagement Stats - followers, following, and total posts.

All field names follow the same schema as the Instagram Profiles API for cross-platform consistency.
