## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability agents-openwebninja-com-google-people-also-ask-fetcher-a79692fa
```

Example prompt: Pull the People Also Ask questions from Google for the query 'electric vehicles' in the US in English, and include the answer text and source for each question.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured access to Google's 'People Also Ask' SERP feature specifically — including question text, answer snippets, and source attribution — for SEO research, content planning, FAQ generation, or competitive intelligence. It is preferable over a general web search API when the explicit goal is to retrieve PAA questions rather than general organic results, and when localization by country or language is important.

## Known failure modes

- Query with time filter (tbs) returns empty array — Google often omits PAA blocks on time-filtered pages
- nhr=1 passed accidentally — explicitly excludes PAA questions, returning an empty list
- No PAA block exists for the query — returns an empty people_also_ask array with status OK
- Invalid country/language code — may return unexpected results or default behavior
- Rate limit exceeded or insufficient credits — API returns payment/credit error
- Very niche or obscure query — Google may not surface any PAA questions

## How this service works

Get the People Also Ask block for a Google search query, optionally with the answer body and source link for each question.  

  Each call consumes 2 request credits, or 3 credits when `fetch_answers=true` AND the query returns at least one question.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing an array of People Also Ask items. Each item includes the question text. When fetch_answers is enabled, each item also includes a plain-text answer (or null if unavailable) and a source object with the URL, page title, and domain of the answer source. The response also echoes back the request parameters and a unique request ID.
