Research mentions and citations

Mentions and citations provide broader discovery than a controlled live check. They search indexed answer data for a brand instead of running only the prompt you supply.

Find answers that mention a brand

curl -X POST https://api.trackee.dev/v1/mentions \
  -H "x-access-key: YOUR_ACCESS_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "brand": "Acme",
    "domain": "acme.com",
    "platform": "chat_gpt",
    "location": "United States",
    "language": "English",
    "limit": 20
  }'

The response includes the user question, answer text, cited sources, and other brands named in each result. The request costs 35 credits.

Chart mention history

POST /v1/mentions/history returns roughly 13 months of mention counts and the AI search volume behind them. Use it to see whether visibility is rising or falling. The request costs 35 credits.

Find influential sources

POST /v1/citations returns the pages or domains most often cited in answers that mention the brand. Group by page when you need individual URLs; group by domain when you want a publisher-level view. The request costs 35 credits.

The citation response distinguishes two shares:

• share measures a source against the brand's complete citation corpus.
• share_of_returned measures it against only the sources returned in this response.

Use these endpoints for discovery and trend research. Use live checks for controlled prompt-by-prompt comparisons.
