## Response

Successful output is returned in `results[0].data`. Raw platform output is intentionally open-ended and may evolve with the upstream source.

### Illustrative sample output

This redacted fixture is an example, not a fixed response schema.

```json
{
  "completed": true,
  "finish_reason": "stop",
  "grounded": false,
  "model": "3.5 Flash-Lite",
  "query": "In one short sentence, explain what photosynthesis does.",
  "response": "Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into oxygen and energy-rich glucose."
}
```
### Illustrative output fields

Derived from the sample above for orientation only. These fields are not a fixed response schema.

| Path | Observed type | Example |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `completed` | `boolean` | true |
| `finish_reason` | `string` | stop |
| `grounded` | `boolean` | false |
| `model` | `string` | 3.5 Flash-Lite |
| `query` | `string` | In one short sentence, explain what photosynthesis does. |
| `response` | `string` | Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert sunlight, water, … |

## Execution behavior

A `200` response completed inline. A `202` response was queued; poll `GET /jobs/{id}` until the job reaches `completed` or `failed`. Use an `Idempotency-Key` when retrying must not create a duplicate logical job.

See [jobs and results](https://docs.upscrape.com/docs/api/jobs), [errors and retries](https://docs.upscrape.com/docs/api/errors), and [idempotency](https://docs.upscrape.com/docs/api/idempotency).
