/goto links

Update: Google result links Google now limits how many result links can be opened shortly after a search. We resolve the top 3 results; results 4–10 come back as google.com/goto links, which work about 30 seconds after the search. To get their real URLs, use the new /resolve endpoint.

Update timeline

  1. investigating Oct 30, 2026, 01:20 AM UTC

    Google just made a change impacting our ability to resolve all returned /goto links. You'll see more results with unresolved /goto links. Latency is also currently higher because the links need to be resolved sequentially instead of concurrently. We're actively looking into it.
