Baidu AI Search API — the AI answer at the top of Baidu's results

BAIDU_AI_SEARCH searches Baidu (baidu.com) and returns the AI answer card (百度AI+) at the top of the results page with the pages the answer cites, along with the rest of that page: results, ads, related searches, news, videos, products, images, places and Baidu’s other cards. No account or login is involved.

Response

Field	Type	Description
`card`	string or null	The AI card Baidu showed: `general` or `health` (百度健康). `null` when the results page had no AI answer.
`text`	string	The answer. Empty when `card` is `null`.
`markdown`	string	The answer as Markdown, with citation numbers such as `[2]` that match `sources`. Returned without any flag.
`sources`	array	The pages the answer cites: `position`, `url`, `label`, `source` (the site name) and `publishedAt` when Baidu gives it. Health cards have none.
`reviewedBy`	string	On health cards, the reviewers Baidu names.
`searchQueries`	array	The searches Baidu ran for an answer it writes after the page loads.
`organicResults`	array	The results that each lead to one page, in page order: `position`, `title`, `link`, `snippet`, `date`, `source` (the site or author Baidu names) and `page`. Baidu Baike, Tieba, Wenku and Aiqicha entries count.
`ads`	array	Paid results: `position`, `title`, `link` (the landing page), `displayedLink`, `description` and `blockPosition` (`top` above the results, `bottom` below them).
`relatedSearches`	array	大家还在搜 and 相关搜索, each once: `query`, `link`.
`contentResults`	array	News, video and 精选笔记 note items in page order: `position`, `type` (`news`, `video` or `note`), `title`, `link`, `snippet`, `source`, `date`, `thumbnail`.
`shoppingResults`	array	Products on the 商品 card: `position`, `title`, `link` (the store’s page), `price` (yuan), `mallName`, `sales`, `thumbnail`.
`images`	array	The 百度图片 grid: `position`, `link` (Baidu Images’ page), `image`, `thumbnail`, `width`, `height`.
`map`	array	Places on 百度地图 cards: `position`, `name`, `placeId`, `location.address`, `phoneNumber`, `category`, `openState`, `reviews`, `mapsUrl`, `image`. A list card shows places in the city the search ran from, which changes between tasks.
`otherCards`	array	Every other card on the page, such as brand, person and drug panels, quotes and weather: `position`, `type` (Baidu’s template name), `column` (`main` or `right`), `title`, `link`, `text` (what the card shows).
`rawResponse`	object	The card’s own data, plus the stream’s events for an answer Baidu writes after the page loads. Only with `include.rawResponse`.

Every task returns the results page, with or without an AI card, and each results-page field is present when the page shows that block. The AI card changes between requests for the same query, and a query that shows no card completes with card: null. Answers Baidu writes after the page loads arrive like any other card, with their sources and the searches Baidu ran. For example:

{
  "card": "general",
  "text": "索尼、Bose、苹果是降噪耳机第一梯队品牌 ...",
  "markdown": "**索尼、Bose、苹果是降噪耳机第一梯队品牌** ... [1][2]",
  "sources": [{ "position": 1, "url": "https://baijiahao.baidu.com/s?id=1879822093449478141", "label": "最值得买的十款降噪蓝牙耳机推荐", "source": "Geeks小树" }],
  "organicResults": [{ "position": 1, "title": "降噪耳机哪个牌子好?深度解析这6款口碑佳、音质优的热门型号", "link": "https://baijiahao.baidu.com/s?id=1879807124356797809&wfr=spider&for=pc", "date": "2026年10月23日", "source": "晓雪购物笔记", "page": 1 }],
  "relatedSearches": [{ "query": "适合老年人的耳机", "link": "https://www.baidu.com/s?ie=utf-8&wd=%E9%80%82%E5%90%88%E8%80%81%E5%B9%B4%E4%BA%BA%E7%9A%84%E8%80%B3%E6%9C%BA" }]
