Field	Type	Description
`text`	string	The answer.
`sources`	array	The pages Copilot cited: `position`, `url`, `label`.
`shoppingCards`	array	Product cards. Always present, empty when there are none.
`map`	array	Places: `position`, `name`, `placeId`, `location`, `layerLabel`. Always present, empty when there are none.
`searchQueries`	string[]	The searches Copilot ran. Always present, empty when there are none.
`images`	array	An image carousel: `title`, `url`, `image`, `thumbnail`, `medium`, `source`, `image_width`, `image_height`.
`videos`	array	A video carousel: `title`, `url`, `medium`, `thumbnail`, `source`, `duration`.
`markdown`	string	The answer as Markdown. Only with `include.markdown`.
`rawResponse`	array	Stream events. Only with `include.rawResponse`.

Shopping questions often cite no page and return product cards instead, so sources: [] is a normal answer. Each shoppingCards entry holds products, and product positions run across all cards. A product keeps Copilot’s review (a summary of what buyers say and the stores it came from), prosAndCons and curationInfo; each is null when Copilot has none. In images, url is the page the image belongs to and image is the image file; in videos, url is the watch page. For example:

{
  "text": "For a small team, HubSpot CRM and Pipedrive are easy to start with ...",
  "sources": [{ "position": 1, "url": "https://www.example.com/crm-guide", "label": "CRM guide for small teams" }],
  "shoppingCards": [],
  "map": [],
  "searchQueries": ["best CRM for small teams"]
}

With include.markdown, markdown places the image carousel as ![title](image) lines where Copilot shows it, and each video as a linked thumbnail.
