AI-optimized API response

DataForSEO offers API responses that are optimized for interacting with LLMs and AI applications.

By appending the .ai at the end of the endpoint’s URL, you will get a cropped JSON response with the following distinctions:

The service-related part of the API response is reduced to three fields: id, status_code, and status_message;
items array does not contain fields that are empty, or equal null and false;
float type values are rounded up to the third decimal digit;
position and xpath fields removed;
monthly_searches object is returned in the following format: { "2025-03": 201000, "2025-04": 201000, ... };
depth and/or limit parameters are set to 10 by default in endpoints that support these parameters in task setting.
Endpoints of Content Generation API return the maximum of 10 results in the response.
Location endpoints only return countries with a default URL (e.g., /locations.ai); to obtain cities of the certain country, append the country code (for example locations/US.ai)

Supported APIs and endpoints

AI-optimized API responses are universally supported across all Live and Task GET endpoints. The APIs that benefit the most are SERP API and DataForSEO Labs API.

Example of the request for obtaining AI-optimized API response for Google Organic Live Regular SERP API:
