Extract the questions shown in Google's related-questions module from one public search page. The Bot can expand each original question card once to capture visible answer and source details, while excluding dynamically appended questions and every other search module.
What Does BrowserAct Google Related Questions Scraper API Do?
The Bot builds one Google Search URL internally from the query and selected website options, opens the public result page, identifies only the visible related-questions module, extracts its visible fields, and stops when the original question cards have been processed.
Atomic Capability
One run opens one public Google Search results page and returns only People also ask.
The Bot does not combine adjacent search features, open destination websites, or turn the request into a broad crawl. This narrow boundary makes the result predictable for direct API use and composition with other Bots.
Key Features
- Extracts one narrowly defined public Google Search capability.
- Accepts an open-ended query with a working default.
- Uses dropdowns for country and interface language, and Safe Search.
- Builds the fixed Google Search URL and website codes internally.
- Returns the same top-level response envelope for positive and valid negative results.
- Preserves additional visible target-module fields in
unclassified_fields.
Capability Availability
| State | Output behavior |
|---|---|
| Target module is present | available is true; data contains the extracted result. |
| Valid result page without the target module | available is false; data=[]. |
| Additional fields appear inside the target module | Values are preserved in unclassified_fields. |
Quick Start
- Open Run task.
- Enter a query, such as
Cat. - Choose the available country and language options.
- Run the Bot and review its structured response.
- Use the API Tab when you want to call the published template from an application or automation.

How Does It Work?
- BrowserAct validates the query and maps each selected website option.
- The Bot constructs and opens one public Google Search results URL.
- It identifies only the visible related-questions module and reads its visible fields.
- It normalizes the result into the fixed
google_related_questionsresponse envelope. - It returns one structured response and stops without opening destination websites.
Response Behavior and Limits
- Target absent:
available=falsewithdata=[]is a valid response. - Conditional fields: A field may be null when the page does not display it; this does not automatically require rebuilding the Bot.
- Public access: The Bot reads a public Google Search page and requires no account login.
- Execution boundary: One run reads one selected search page and one target module.
- Destination pages: Returned links are not opened.
Use Cases
- Add the target search capability to an application without designing a browser workflow from scratch.
- Feed structured search data into monitoring, research, enrichment, or reporting systems.
- Compose this Bot with other BrowserAct templates through API, n8n, Make, Zapier, or MCP.
How to Build a New API-Ready Bot with Agent Built
Step 1: Define One Atomic Capability
Describe one public-web action, its user inputs, allowed navigation, output contract, and exact stopping point. Keep fixed URLs internal and give every visible input a working default.
Step 2: Let BrowserAct Explore the Capability Variants
Build the Bot against the live website and check representative positive triggers, one valid negative trigger, and at least one non-default dropdown path.
Step 3: Validate the Stable Contract
Publish the validated version, run it with the default inputs, and confirm the response envelope, actual output, execution time, credits, and API call before listing the template.
Automation and Export
BrowserAct produces structured data first. Use the completed result through Run Task, the JSON API, n8n, Make, Zapier, MCP-based agents, or an available export flow.
