FAQs

❓ What data does the API return?

Search Results returns:

Top-level fields:

result_count, offset, next, previous, search_query — pagination + query metadata
ai_summary — Baidu's AI-generated answer block with structured sections and cited sources
results — list of organic search results
related_topics — topics users also search for
related_queries — query suggestions Baidu shows
trending_searches — the live "hot" sidebar on Baidu

Per organic result:

rank, title, url, summary
image — thumbnail image URL (when shown)
site_label — verified source badge (e.g. 百度百科, 知乎)
fact_highlights — Baidu's fact-extracted snippet
sub_links — Baidu's nested deep links into the result page

Inside ai_summary:

sections — ordered blocks: paragraphs, headings, lists (with nested sub_items), and videos. Each block carries highlights (bolded phrases) and source_indexes (citations).
sources — numbered list of citation URLs with publisher names.

All in structured JSON. Ready to use in your app.

❓ How accurate is the data?

Data is pulled from Baidu in real time. Every API call fetches live results — not cached or stale.

Rankings, AI summaries, trending searches — they all reflect what's on Baidu right now.

❓ Can I get results in English or only Chinese?

Both. Baidu indexes English pages too — you'll see GitHub, IMDb, Wikipedia, and other English sources right inside the results array.

Use the language_filter parameter to restrict results: simplified for Simplified Chinese only, traditional for Traditional Chinese only, or any for the full mix (English + Chinese).

❓ What does the AI summary block contain?

It's Baidu's equivalent of Google's AI Overview — a structured answer Baidu generates at the top of the page for many queries.

You get the full structure: ordered paragraphs, headings (with emoji), nested bullet lists, embedded videos, highlighted key phrases, and numbered citations linking back to source pages. No HTML parsing needed.

❓ How do I paginate through results?

Use the offset parameter. 0 returns page 1, 10 returns page 2, 20 returns page 3, and so on.

Every response also includes ready-to-use next and previous URLs in the JSON, so you can paginate without doing the math yourself.
