# Can the Grok API return source URLs from a live search response?

I’m looking at using Grok’s live search in an app that needs to show where factual claims came from. In the Grok interface I can see source links, but I haven’t found a clear answer about which citation details are available through the API.

Does an API response include source URLs and enough information to associate them with parts of the answer, or is it mainly the generated text? I’d appreciate examples from anyone who has built a source display around it.
