## FAQ

### Has this been tested against live AI APIs?

The AI Answer Visibility Tracker's adapters follow each provider's public docs and are tested against sample responses and mock runs. They have not yet been run against every live provider API. Report problems in the Issues tab.

### Is the example output on this page real AI data?

No. The AI Answer Visibility Tracker example task runs in mock mode with made-up brands (Acme Wiki and others). Mock answers are deterministic samples that show the output format only. No AI API was called.

### How much does the AI Answer Visibility Tracker cost?

AI Answer Visibility Tracker mock runs are free. Real runs cost $0.008 per successful engine answer plus $0.10 per brand report, and you pay each AI provider directly for your own API key usage.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/damodaran_dhanuauraman/ai-answer-visibility-tracker.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
