When rewrite_links is true, already-resolved opaque Google anchor links use their destination URLs. Unresolved links are preserved.

## Other responses

- `400`: The JSON body, source selection, or continuation is invalid. Locally malformed, forged, expired, or mismatched tokens are rejected before source work and require restarting pagination. A source may also reject an otherwise well-formed selector after acquisition. These errors do not spend a search credit. Source inventory changes discovered during a valid request return a completed response instead.
- `401`: The API token is missing, invalid, expired, or revoked.
- `402`: No credits remain.
- `429`: Account rate limit exceeded.
- `500`: The request could not be completed.
