Understand the collected data
Chatbot responses expose sources with title and url. Google AI Overview sources appear inside aioverview when an overview is present. Source links do not prove which document a model read or which claim it supports.
Collected data
Sources can be empty. Citation frequency, domain grouping and claim attribution are customer-built analysis, not response fields.
Provider output examples
These are illustrative successful run excerpts, not full result files or calculated metrics. Submit POST /v1/crawl-jobs, track completion, then download the authenticated result. Outputs depend on the target; a chatbot has no news articles or Google position fields.

}Citations FAQ
- Does the API calculate citations?
- Chatbot responses expose sources with title and url. Google AI Overview sources appear inside aioverview when an overview is present. Source links do not prove which document a model read or which claim it supports.
- How should failed or empty collections be handled?
- Inspect per-target failedRuns and each successful run identity. Empty sources or null fields are valid output; a missing failed run is not an empty successful answer. A completed job can contain failed collections.
