Try the Short Answers API first, then fall back to Full Results when no short answer exists.
Submits the query to the Short Answers API. On a 200 the concise answer is returned and the flow ends. On a 501 (no short answer available) the flow branches to the Full Results API for the complete pod data.

getShortAnswer
queryShortAnswer
Ask the Short Answers API for a single concise plain-text answer to the query. A 200 means a short answer is available; a 501 means none exists.
2
getFullResultsFallback
queryFullResults
When the Short Answers API has no concise answer, request the complete Full Results pods in JSON so the caller still receives a detailed result.
