Lens

Our google_lens source enables you to extract results from the Google Lens feature while performing an image search.

Explore output data dictionary for each Lens SERP feature, offering a brief description, screenshot, parsed JSON code snippet, and a table defining each parsed field. Navigate through the details using the right-side navigation or scrolling down the page.

Request samples

The API sends a request to the Google Lens feature to retrieve structured data related to the content of an image.
