Google serves many result links as `/goto?url=` 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](/docs/api-reference/endpoint/monitor-google) or [AI Mode](/docs/api-reference/endpoint/monitor-aimode) request to get the redirect links instead, as absolute `https://www.google.com/goto?url=` URLs. Use it when you run your own redirect resolution. The flag costs no extra credits. ```json Request theme={null} { "query": "best seo tools", "gl": "PT", "hl": "pt", "include": { "googleGoto": true } } ``` ```json Response theme={null} { "position": 1, "title": "24 best SEO tools I'm using in 2026 (free + paid)", "link": "https://www.google.com/goto?url=CAESaAHrOzAVev0pi_wnTxm1qpiZTmMyAllabLr1or10ZCfvJKPkFqExEIHEAXuQnnehHEAZpxrNEFuDMonO8o90rlyWkWC8xN5NiVm7zj9JUmedJUe_ZXVVrJ1rr520I5PZ5XAZpQplL4bp", "displayedLink": "https://www.marketermilk.com› ...", "snippet": "24 best SEO tools I've personally tested in 2026 · 1. Google Search Console · 2. Google Autocomplete · 3. Surfer · 4. Gumloop · 5. Ahrefs · 6.", "page": 1 } ``` 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. ## Resolve a link `POST /v1/monitor/google/goto` takes one redirect link and returns where it points. ```bash cURL theme={null} curl -X POST "https://api.cloro.dev/v1/monitor/google/goto" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "url": "https://www.google.com/goto?url=CAESaQHrOzAVqzmLoOGwx_6OnzSPRKSyqmXD3yEDa0VIkUCfa5RKEaB9eIJOYz_M1y_VwKrr5jrSlrFlZlBUbe9DQXMPRUiSOrjBMQ78vpRZtXEhawDDabM58DDRHnv2f-XOQAWw-nwkup9ptQ" }' ``` ```json Response theme={null} { "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pma08NXw8Ts&t=541" } ``` The endpoint charges no credits and uses no concurrency slot, but it counts against your [rate limit](/docs/guides/concurrency#rate-limits-vs-concurrency-limits). One link per request, and Google gets 10 seconds to answer before the call fails with a `502`. ## OpenAPI ````yaml api-reference/openapi.json POST /v1/monitor/google/goto openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: cloro description: >- API for monitoring AI responses across different providers and regions. One request returns the engine's answer as structured JSON: parsed text, cited sources, brand entities, shopping results, and ads, geo-targeted to any of 250 countries. ## Authentication Send your API key as `Authorization: Bearer `. Keys are self-serve from https://dashboard.cloro.dev/api-keys and every account starts on a free tier of 500 monthly credits. One key grants every endpoint; there are no per-key scopes today. ## Versioning and deprecation The version is in the URL path. Every endpoint lives under `/v1/`; there is no version header or query parameter. Within a version, changes are additive: new endpoints, new optional request fields, and new response fields can appear at any time. A client must ignore response fields it does not recognise. A breaking change gets a new version path (`/v2/`) rather than reusing an existing one. A deprecated endpoint says so in its own responses, not only in a changelog: `Deprecation` (RFC 9745) carries the date the deprecation took effect, `Sunset` (RFC 8594) the date the endpoint stops responding, and a `Link` header with `rel="deprecation"` points at the replacement. There is a minimum of six months between the two dates for any generally available endpoint. Nothing is deprecated today. ## Rate limits Every response carries its own limit state, so a client can self-throttle from the response it already has: `X-RateLimit-Limit` and `X-RateLimit-Remaining`, alongside the concurrency and credit headers. The rate-limit window is one second, so a `429` from it clears almost immediately; a `429` from the concurrency limit clears when your in-flight jobs finish. Neither carries `Retry-After`, and the IETF `RateLimit-*` header names are not sent. ## Errors Every 4xx and 5xx response uses the `Error` envelope: `{ "error": { "code", "message", "details", "timestamp" } }`. `code` is a stable machine-readable identifier and is what a client should branch on; `message` is for a human reading a log. license: name: MIT url: https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT version: 1.0.0 contact: name: cloro support email: support@cloro.dev termsOfService: https://cloro.dev/terms/ servers: - url: https://api.cloro.dev description: Production server security: - bearerAuth: [] paths: /v1/monitor/google/goto: post: summary: Resolve a Google redirect link description: >- Resolve one Google redirect link to its destination URL.
