Scavio Google Ai Mode

Google AI Mode via Scavio (v2)

Fetch Google's AI Mode answer as structured JSON: an AI-generated response broken into text blocks, the cited source references behind it, and shopping results for commercial queries. One credit per request.

When to trigger

Use this skill when the user asks to:

• Get Google's AI-generated answer to a question, with its sources
• See what Google's AI Mode says about a topic or product
• Pull cited references behind an AI answer for grounding or verification
• Answer a commercial query and surface AI-suggested products

Setup

Get a free API key at scavio.dev (50 free credits to get started, no card required):

export SCAVIO_API_KEY=sk_live_your_key

Endpoint

POST https://api.scavio.dev/api/v2/google/ai-mode
Authorization: Bearer $SCAVIO_API_KEY

Every request costs 1 credit.

Workflow

1. Send the user's question as query.
2. Localize with gl/hl/location when the answer is region-specific.
3. Read text_blocks[] for the AI answer, references[] for the cited sources, and shopping_results[] for product suggestions on commercial queries.

Parameters

Example

import requests

# Your key from https://scavio.dev. Load it from your environment or secret
# store in real code - keep it out of source control.
API_KEY = "sk_your_key_here"

response = requests.post(
    "https://api.scavio.dev/api/v2/google/ai-mode",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {API_KEY}"},
    json={"query": "best running shoes for flat feet 2026", "gl": "us", "hl": "en"},
)
data = response.json()
for b in data.get("text_blocks", []):
    print(b.get("snippet") or b.get("text"))
for ref in data.get("references", []):
    print("source:", ref.get("title"), ref.get("link"))

Response

{
  "text_blocks": [
    { "type": "paragraph", "snippet": "AI-generated answer text..." }
  ],
  "references": [
    { "title": "Source article", "link": "https://example.com", "source": "Example" }
  ],
  "shopping_results": [],
  "response_time": 2140,
  "credits_used": 1,
  "credits_remaining": 995,
  "cached": false
}

Guardrails

• Each call costs 1 credit.
• Never fabricate the AI answer, references, or products. Only return API data.
• Present the answer from text_blocks and always surface its references so the user can verify sources.
• AI Mode does not support pagination or result filtering — it is a single answer per query.

Failure handling

• 400 means an invalid parameter — fix and retry.
• 401 means the API key is invalid or missing. Check SCAVIO_API_KEY.
• 429 means rate or usage limit exceeded. Wait before retrying. See rate limits.
• 502 / 503 mean upstream is temporarily unavailable. Wait a few seconds before retrying.
• If no AI answer is returned, the query may not trigger AI Mode — fall back to the scavio-google search skill.
• If SCAVIO_API_KEY is not set, prompt the user to export it before continuing.
