Google's About This Result feature provides information about a website before you click on it. This API returns an AI-generated overview of the domain, reference links, and indexing history.

Use this to verify source credibility, check domain age, or gather competitive intelligence about any website.

Google redirect links

Google now returns the reference links and the knowledge graph source link as encrypted redirects (https://www.google.com/goto?url=...). Each one comes with a link_token: send it to the Google Resolve API to get the destination URL, free of charge.
