Engine features

Served engines

The API serves ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Grok, Google AI Mode, Google Search, and Google News. Each engine has its own endpoint and its own response schema; the shared parts (text, sources) have the same names everywhere. This page lists what each served engine accepts and returns, and which fields come back empty on the answers served today.

Include flags

Flags go in include and add fields to the result. A flag an engine doesn't list is rejected as an unknown field.
