AlsoAsked returns People Also Asked data from Google Search Engine Result Pages (SERPs).

Example People Also Ask results for "People Also Ask" query

For example, if you search for "salle to bain" in AlsoAsked and set the region to France and language to French:

As highlighted, People Also Ask questions are available on this page and are returned as the question set.
