Google Gemini sources schema

This section documents the sources data returned by the Gemini endpoint: the citations behind the answer, part of the Gemini response so no separate API call is needed. They follow the common sources structure (position, url, label, description). For use cases, pricing context, and copy-paste examples, see the Gemini sources API page on the product site.

Some prompts don’t trigger Gemini’s source-citing mechanism. An empty sources array is normal, not an error.

Example request
