Example prompt: Can you run a Google Lens reverse image search on this image — https://example.com/mystery-plant.jpg — and tell me what it identifies, including any visually similar images or matching products it finds?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to identify objects, landmarks, products, plants, animals, or text in an image via Google Lens, or when you want to find visually similar images or discover the source/origin of an image. Prefer this over text-based image search when the query itself IS an image rather than a keyword. Use instead of other vision APIs when you specifically want Google's visual knowledge graph and web-indexed similarity results.

## Known failure modes

- Image URL is inaccessible or returns a non-image response — results will be empty or an error is returned
- Image URL points to a protected or paywalled resource — Lens cannot fetch the image
- Unsupported image format — may return no results
- Image content is ambiguous or contains no recognizable objects — returns sparse or empty results
- Rate limit exceeded — API returns an error response

## How this service works

Google Lens reverse image search - identify objects, find visually similar images, and get visual search results from an image URL. Pagination billing: call the first page normally and save billing.requestId from the Orthogonal /v1/run response. For later page, offset, or cursor calls on the same logical search, pass parentRequestId with unchanged non-pagination parameters. Valid continuation calls still get their own request IDs and quoted price, but are charged 0. Changing filters starts a new billable request.

## Output

Returns Google Lens visual search results including identified objects, labels, entity names, knowledge graph matches, visually similar images with their URLs and titles, and related search suggestions based on the submitted image URL.
