# SHAI — Google Search Console

> Google's own API for a site's search performance — the real data /seo (#92) reads instead of an invented ranking figure.

Canonical page: /integrations/google-search-console

## How SHAI connects to it
SHAI talks to it directly, with the key you paste. It is one of the tools SHAI has written up — what it costs, why it matters, what breaks without it — as `google-search-console` in the tool guide.

## What it needs
a key you paste, in Setup or on /connections.

## Where that was read
docs/tools/tools.json (google-search-console), verified 2026-09-16.

Connect it: /connections?tool=google-search-console
