Baidu ERNIE sources tracking
baidu_erniesourcesAnonymous
The full Baidu source set, tagged for Baidu-owned properties, shows precisely how much of your category's answer is being served from inside Baidu's own walls.
How it renders
The complete link set behind the SERP AI answer.
Sampling
Source panels are wider and more stable than inline citations, so they reach a usable confidence interval at lower n.
Gotcha
Baike, Zhidao and Baijiahao are one owner, not three publishers. Untagged, the source set looks far more diverse than it is.
What the API returns
A single collection call against Baidu ERNIE for the sources field, sampled n times and returned as one object per prompt.
