Pricing
from $10.00 / 1,000 query processeds
Track which sources Google's AI Overview cites for your keywords. One record per query: AI answer text and Markdown, cited URLs with position and domain, whether your target domains were cited, and the organic top 10. Built for GEO / AI visibility monitoring. Failed queries are not charged.
You can access the AI Search Citation Monitor — Google AI Overview & AI Mode programmatically from your own applications by using the Apify API. You can also choose the language preference from below. To use the Apify API, you’ll need an Apify account and your API token, found in API & Integrations in Apify Console.

It simplifies API development, integration, and documentation.
OpenAPI is effective when used with AI agents and GPTs by standardizing how these systems interact with various APIs, for reliable integrations and efficient communication.
By defining machine-readable API specifications, OpenAPI allows AI models like GPTs to understand and use varied data sources, improving accuracy. This accelerates development, reduces errors, and provides context-aware responses, making OpenAPI a core component for AI applications.
