POST
Resolve a Google redirect link
Google serves many result links as /goto?url=<token> redirects, where the token is encrypted on Google’s side. cloro resolves them for you, so link and the other URL fields hold real destinations. Set include.googleGoto: true on a Google Search or AI Mode request to get the redirect links instead, as absolute https://www.google.com/goto?url=<token> URLs. Use it when you run your own redirect resolution. The flag costs no extra credits.
On Google Search the flag covers organic results on every page, local-pack websites, AI Overview sources and citation pills, related links, and People Also Ask AI Overview sources. On AI Mode it covers result.sources, result.citationPills, and the markdown. Plaintext /url?q= links carry their destination in the URL itself and are still unwrapped for you. POST /v1/monitor/google/goto takes one redirect link and returns where it points.
The endpoint charges no credits and uses no concurrency slot, but it counts against your rate limit. One link per request, and Google gets 10 seconds to answer before the call fails with a 502.
