Knowledge Graph

This section documents the Knowledge Graph data returned by the Google Search endpoint. Knowledge Graph data is part of the same response, so no separate API call is needed.

Overview

Google’s Knowledge Graph panel surfaces structured information about a queried entity — a person, place, organization, film, product, or other well-known subject. When a panel appears on the SERP, the result includes a knowledgeGraph object. The field is omitted from result when no panel appears — treat it as optional rather than expecting null or an empty object. The panel layout and available sub-fields vary by entity type. An artist panel may include listenOn streaming links and socialPosts, while a restaurant panel may include contact links and webRatings. All sub-fields are optional and appear only when Google includes them.
