```http
GET | POST /v1/google/suggestions
```

Send parameters as a query string with `GET`, or as a JSON body with `POST`. Both are equivalent.

## Request

```bash tab="cURL"
curl "https://gateway.apinoa.com/v1/google/suggestions?q=running+shoes&country=US" \
  -H "x-api-key: $APINOA_API_KEY"
```

```js tab="JavaScript"
const params = new URLSearchParams({ q: "running shoes", country: "US" });
const res = await fetch(`https://gateway.apinoa.com/v1/google/suggestions?${params}`, {
  headers: { "x-api-key": process.env.APINOA_API_KEY },
});
const { success, data, error } = await res.json();
```

```python tab="Python"
import os

import requests

res = requests.get(
    "https://gateway.apinoa.com/v1/google/suggestions",
    params={"q": "running shoes", "country": "US"},
    headers={"x-api-key": os.environ["APINOA_API_KEY"]},
)
body = res.json()
```

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| `q` | string | yes | The query, search operators included. |
| `country` | enum |  | The market, as an ISO 3166 country code. `US` `GB` `CA` `AU` `DE` `FR` `IT` `AT` `JP` `KR` |
| `lang` | string |  | Interface language. |

The same parameters, and every response type, are in the OpenAPI document: https://apinoa.com/openapi.json

## Response

Returns [`Suggestions`](/docs/api-reference/serp/response-schema#suggestions) in `data`. A real response, shortened: arrays keep their first entries and long text is cut.

```json
{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "engine": "google",
    "query": "running shoes",
    "country": "US",
    "lang": "en",
    "suggestions": [
      {"text": "running shoes", "ext": {"subtypes": [512]}},
      {"text": "running shoes for women", "ext": {"subtypes": [512]}}
    ]
  }
}
```

## Errors
