This section documents the sources data returned by the Gemini endpoint. Sources are part of the Gemini response — no separate API call is needed.

​
Overview

Gemini sources follow the common sources structure (position, url, label, description) plus one Gemini-specific field.

​
Gemini-specific source fields

FieldTypeDescription
confidence_levelintegerConfidence score for the source (e.g., 0-100)
About sources availabilityGemini may not return sources for certain prompts. The sources array will be empty when Gemini doesn’t provide citations. This is normal behavior and doesn’t indicate an error — some prompts simply don’t trigger Gemini’s source-citing mechanism.

​
Example request

{
  "prompt": "Explain quantum entanglement",
  "country": "US"
}
This produces a response containing the sources array shown below.

Example response
