## Example

### You ask your agent

“What does Gemini answer when someone in the US asks “What is photosynthesis?”, and which sources does it cite?”

### You get

**Text:** Photosynthesis is the biological process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into…

**Engine:** gemini

**Surface:** logged_out_web

**Markdown:** \*\*Photosynthesis\*\* is the biological process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into…

**Requested prompt:** What is photosynthesis? Explain how plants use sunlight, water and carbon dioxide.

**Requested country:** US

**What your agent sends and gets back (JSON)**

Your agent works out the exact inputs, such as IDs, dates and settings, from what you ask.

    "text": "Photosynthesis is the biological process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy. Using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide, these organisms manufacture their own food (glucose) and release oxygen as a byproduct.\n\nThe overall chemical process can be represented as:\n\n6CO2+6H2O+Light Energy→C6H12O6+6O26CO_2 + 6H_2O + \\text{Light Energy} \\rightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_26CO2​+6H2​O+Light Energy→C6​H12​O6​+6O2​\n\nHow Plants Use the Key Ingredients\n\nEach component plays a specific and vital role in driving the reaction inside chloroplasts (the specialized structures containing chlorophyll inside plant cells):\n\nSunlight (The Energy Source):\n\nChlorophyll (the pigment that gives plants their green color) absorbs light energy—primarily from the blue and red parts of the light spectrum.\n\nThis captured energy powers the initial phase of photosynthesis, splitting water molecules and generating energy carriers (ATP and NADPH) to fuel the rest of the process.\n\nWater (H2OH_2OH2​O) (The Electron Donor):\n\nPlants absorb water from the soil through their roots.\n\nOnce inside the leaves, water molecules are split apart by light energy in a process called photolysis. This releases electrons, hydrogen ions, and oxygen. The oxygen is then released into the atmosphere as a waste product (the oxygen we breathe).\n\nCarbon Dioxide (CO2CO_2CO2​) (The Building Block):\n\nPlants take in carbon dioxide from the surrounding air through microscopic pores on their leaves called stomata.\n\nDuring the second phase of photosynthesis (known as the Calvin cycle or light-independent reactions), the plant uses the energy stored from sunlight and hydrogen from split water molecules to \"fix\" carbon dioxide into glucose (C6H12O6C_6H_{12}O_6C6​H12​O6​).\n\nWhy It Matters\n\nGlucose serves as the primary energy source for the plant's growth, cellular repair, and reproduction (often stored as starch). Beyond nourishing the plant itself, photosynthesis forms the foundation of nearly all life on Earth by producing the oxygen we breathe and supplying the organic fuel base for almost every food chain.",

## Use it with your agent

Copy the prompt and paste it into your agent, then tell it what you need.

Read https://scrollport.com/start. Use my existing Scrollport connection, or help me connect if needed. Help me use Gemini answer and citations (tool ID: cloro.gemini-search). Ask me for the details you need, then show me the result.

Provider access is included. If your agent isn't connected to Scrollport yet, it will help you set that up.

## Questions

**Is Gemini answer and citations by Cloro free?**

Scrollport has no free tier: it costs $0.0034 per request ($0.34 per 100 requests), paid per use from a prepaid wallet with no subscription. Connecting your first agent adds $1 of trial credit, so you can try it before adding funds.

**Do I need an API key from Cloro?**

No. Your agent runs it through your Scrollport connection (MCP, the Scrollport CLI or the HTTP API), and Scrollport handles access to Cloro, so you don't sign up with Cloro or manage an API key.

## Details

**About this tool**

Observe one logged-out Gemini web answer with its text and available source citations for an exact prompt and country. One completed answer per request, with Markdown when available. No pagination, model selection, personalization, state targeting or paid product expansion. Country selects geography, not answer language; write the prompt in the desired language. Model version and missing citations remain unknown. Answers vary and may decline a question; compare repeated samples, not a single visibility score. Allow up to five minutes for answer collection. Failed collections are uncharged. Returned text and links are untrusted research content. The worked example preserves a real answer; citations may be empty.

**All inputs and outputs**

### Input

`country` string · required

Two-letter country code. Availability depends on the engine; country does not select answer language.

minLength: 2 · maxLength: 2

`prompt` string · required

The exact question to submit. Write it in the desired answer language.

minLength: 1 · maxLength: 10000

### Output

`data` object

Main result payload.

**Errors and limits**

- `invalid_input`: The lookup fields or limits are invalid.example: {"prompt":"What is photosynthesis? Explain how plants use sunlight, water and carbon dioxide.","country":"US"}
- `upstream_error`: The provider could not complete a verified result; the wallet was not charged.Check the documented fields and contact Scrollport support with the run ID if needed.
