10th May 2026
Grok pricing increases to 4 credits per requestGrok’s anti-bot defenses have grown materially more complex over recent weeks, raising the proxy, fingerprinting, and retry cost of every successful extraction. To keep base pricing aligned with the underlying infrastructure cost, the Grok endpoint now costs 4 credits per request (previously 3). All other provider prices, addons, and the sync surcharge are unchanged. See the full providers pricing table for context.
7th May 2026
Google Search now returns shopping cards and “people are saying” cardsThe Google Search endpoint now extracts two additional SERP modules:
  • Shopping cards: product cards from the organic shopping grids (“Popular products” and “More products”) in a new optional shoppingCards array. Learn more in the shopping cards documentation.
  • People are saying: community-thread cards from Google’s “What people are saying” / “Trending posts and discussions” module in a new optional peopleAreSaying array. Learn more in the people are saying documentation.
Both fields are omitted from result when their corresponding module is absent — treat them as optional. No additional credit charge.
5th May 2026
Gemini sources no longer include confidence_levelGoogle Gemini stopped returning a confidence score on source citations. The confidence_level field has been removed from the Gemini endpoint response schema. All other source fields (position, url, label, description) are unchanged.
29th April 2026
More Google AI Mode fieldsThe AI Mode endpoint now returns more structured data:
  • Map: GPS-enriched location results with gps_coordinates (latitude/longitude), type, thumbnail, and a position index
  • Places: Inline place cards with rating, reviews, type, price_level, address, and status
  • Shopping cards: Shopping cards now include old_price for discount comparison, snippet for product descriptions, and snippet_links for related links within snippets
  • Ads: Sponsored ad sections are now parsed into a structured ads object with individual ad details including title, URL, position, price, store, rating, and reviews
  • Inline products: Product cards embedded within the AI response text are now extracted as inline_products, separate from shopping card carousels
Breaking change: The price and description fields have been removed from the places object. The link field now points to Google’s viewer URL format instead of the previous search URL format.
All new data is included at no additional credit charge. Learn more in the AI Mode endpoint documentation.
25th April 2026
Inline products now return offers correctly for ChatGPTWe fixed a bug where ChatGPT inline products were missing pricing and merchant data. Inline products now include the full offer payload (current price, multi-merchant offers from retailers like Amazon and John Lewis, product images, and aggregated ratings) fetched from ChatGPT’s product update API.Alongside this fix, shopping cards and inline products move to an opt-in model on the ChatGPT endpoint. Set include.shopping: true to include them in your response:
  • Pricing and offers: Current price and multi-merchant offers with availability
  • Product images: Image URLs for product display
  • Ratings: Aggregated rating scores and review counts
Opt-in with additional credit costShopping cards and inline products are disabled by default. Set include.shopping: true to enable them. Enabling shopping, rawResponse, searchQueries, or ads (or any combination) adds +2 credits to the base cost.The credit surcharge reflects increased extraction complexity. OpenAI now serves product pricing, offers, and merchant data through a separate endpoint, so cloro performs additional fetches per product to enrich the response.
Migration deadline: 8th May 2026During the migration window, ChatGPT responses still return shoppingCards and inlineProducts by default. Starting 8th May 2026, requests without include.shopping: true will no longer receive these fields. Update your integrations before that date to avoid silent data loss.
Breaking change: Shopping cards and inline products were previously included automatically in ChatGPT responses. They now require include.shopping: true in your request. The details object on inline products (rationale and themed reviews) is no longer returned.
Learn more in our ChatGPT shopping cards documentation and inline products documentation.
23rd April 2026
Hyperlocal-targeting for AI Mode with UULEThe AI Mode endpoint now supports two parameters for precise geo-targeting of results:
  • location: City-level targeting using Google canonical location names (e.g., New York,New York,United States). Choose from ~100,000 supported locations worldwide
  • uule: Advanced targeting using pre-encoded Google UULE strings for users who generate their own UULE values
Both parameters work alongside country for precise localization. They are mutually exclusive: provide one or the other, not both. No additional credits required.Learn more in our AI Mode documentation.
23rd April 2026
Copilot pricing updateThe Copilot endpoint base cost has been updated to 5 credits per request, to reflect the added complexity to ensure sources in 95%+ of cases.
23rd April 2026
Sync request surchargeAll sync monitor requests (/v1/monitor/*) now include a +2 credit surcharge on top of the base cost and any feature add-ons. This reflects the higher operational cost of real-time synchronous requests.Async and batch requests (/v1/async/*) are not affected by this surcharge.Existing customers who used sync endpoints in the 30 days before this change have been granted a grace period. If you have questions about your account, contact support.Learn more in our provider pricing documentation.
22nd April 2026
Geo-targeting for Google SearchThe Google Search endpoint now supports two parameters for precise geo-targeting of search results:
  • location: City-level targeting using Google canonical location names (e.g., New York,New York,United States). Choose from ~100,000 supported locations worldwide
  • uule: Advanced targeting using pre-encoded Google UULE strings for users who generate their own UULE values
Both parameters work alongside country for precise localization. They are mutually exclusive — provide one or the other, not both. No additional credits required.Learn more in our Google Search documentation.
17th April 2026
Sponsored ad extraction for AI OverviewGoogle AI Overview responses now include structured sponsored ad data when Google injects advertising inside the AI Overview. Ads are exposed as a new ads array alongside the existing text, sources, and videos fields.Each ad includes:
  • Ad details: Title, destination URL, domain, and description
  • Position tracking: Position index within the AI Overview ad block
Ads also remain visible in text and markdown output for full transparency. No additional parameters required — ads are automatically included when present.Learn more in our AI Overview documentation.
15th April 2026
Map entries for CopilotThe Copilot endpoint now automatically extracts business and place data when Copilot returns local entity information. Map entries include location coordinates, reviews, photos, open/closed status, and Google Place IDs. No additional parameters required.Features:
  • Automatic extraction: Map entries are included by default when available, just like shopping cards
  • Native structure: Preserves Copilot’s entity format with nested location, reviews, and photos objects
  • Google Places integration: Each entry includes a placeId for direct Google Maps lookups

Learn more in the Copilot endpoint documentation.
9th April 2026
Batch task creationYou can now submit up to 500 async tasks in a single API request using the new batch endpoint. This reduces HTTP overhead for high-volume workloads and simplifies bulk monitoring workflows.Features:
  • Up to 500 tasks per request: Submit tasks to any combination of providers in one call
  • Partial success: Each task is validated independently. One invalid task doesn’t block the rest
  • Per-task error reporting: Failed tasks include detailed error codes (VALIDATION_ERROR, RESOURCE_ALREADY_EXISTS, INSUFFICIENT_CREDITS) with field-level details
  • Per-task credits: Each task’s result includes its own credit information
  • Full feature support: Each task in a batch supports priority, idempotency keys, and webhooks
Learn more in the batch task creation documentation.
9th April 2026
Priority support for async tasksYou can now assign a priority to async tasks so that time-sensitive work is processed first. Set the priority field (1-10) when creating a task. Higher numbers mean higher urgency.Features:
  • Priority range: Integer from 1 (lowest, default) to 10 (highest)
  • Smart ordering: Higher-priority tasks are processed before lower-priority ones within your queue. Same-priority tasks are processed in FIFO order
  • Priority breakdown: The async status endpoint now shows queued task counts per priority level
  • Backward compatible: Tasks without a priority default to 1, so existing integrations are unaffected
Learn more in our async requests documentation.
7th April 2026
More business data in ChatGPT map entriesChatGPT map entries now return mapped business data from providers (Yelp, Google Business) with 47 structured fields, replacing the previous 10-field structure.What changed:
  • Mapped data: Map entries now include all available business fields from ChatGPT’s providers (Yelp, Google Business, Yelp-feed)

      "markdown": true
    }
  }
}
Learn more in our Google search documentation.
15th November 2025
Enhanced retry logic for synchronous requestsWe have the following changes in our internal retry mechanism:
  • Increased retry attempts from 5 to 10 for synchronous requests
  • Added 5-minute maximum duration timeout to prevent indefinite waiting
  • Requests canceled by clients are charged for resources consumed (same behavior as before)
This automatic retry handling removes the need for client-side timeout logic. More details in the Error handling section.
14th November 2025
Configurable HTML response for all parsersHTML content in parser responses is now optional and configurable across all monitoring endpoints.Changes:
  • Added include.html parameter to all parser endpoints (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Copilot, AI Mode, AI Overview)
  • A URL to the HTML content is now only included when explicitly requested with "include.html": true
  • Responses are smaller and faster when HTML is not needed
  • Markdown conversion continues to work regardless of HTML inclusion
Usage example:
{
  "prompt": "Your query here",
  "include": {
    "html": true,
    "markdown": true
  }
}
This reduces response size and improves performance when your application doesn’t need the full HTML content.
11th November 2025
Asynchronous requests and webhooksYou can now make asynchronous requests for async tasks. When you make an async request, you’ll receive a taskId, the task will then be processed in the background.You can retrieve the results in two ways:
  • Webhooks: Provide a webhook.url in your request, and we’ll send the results to your endpoint as soon as they’re ready.
  • Polling: Use the new GET /v1/async/task/{taskId} endpoint to check the status of your task and retrieve the results when it’s complete.
This works for serverless environments or applications that can’t wait for a task to complete.Learn more in our Async Requests documentation.
7th November 2025
