Gemini

Extract Gemini responses by submitting prompts and receive parsed data as structured JSON, plain text or Markdown.

The gemini source lets you submit a prompt to Google Gemini and receive a parsed, structured response, including the plain text and Markdown answers.

Request samples

The following code examples show how to submit a prompt to Gemini using Push-Pull.

cURL

curl 'https://data.oxylabs.io/v1/queries' \
--user 'USERNAME:PASSWORD' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{
        "source": "gemini",
        "prompt": "best supplements for better sleep",
        "parse": true,
        "geo_location": "United States",
        "callback_url": "https://your-server.com/oxylabs-callback"
    }'

Python

}

# Get response.
response = requests.request(
    'POST',

Note: JavaScript rendering is enabled by default for all LLM sources. You do not need to include rendering parameters in your request payload.

Submitting a job with Push-Pull integration (including batch queries) method returns the job ID immediately – not the result. Once the job status is done, retrieve the parsed response. See Integration method on the LLMs and AI page for the full submit-and-retrieve flow.

Request parameters

Basic setup and customization options for scraping Gemini.

Parameter	Description	Default Value

Structured data

Once the job is retrieved via the Push-Pull results endpoint, Web Scraper API is capable of extracting a JSON object that contains Gemini output, offering structured data on various elements of the results page.

Output data dictionary

All LLM targets return the same top-level job and results[] envelope. See LLMs and AI for the full metadata reference.

The following table shows Gemini-specific results[].content fields:

Field Name	Description	Type
prompt	Submitted prompt.	string
raw_response	Raw streamed response from Gemini, one line per item.	array of strings
response_text	Plain text response from Gemini.	string
markdown_text	Complete response in Markdown.	string
citations	Source citations referenced in the response. Each object contains title, url, text, and description.	array
parse_status_code	12000 – successful. Otherwise, parser failed to extract some or all structured fields.	integer
model	AI model used to generate the response.	string

– conditional, returned only when content is in the LLM's response.
