Doubao sources tracking
doubaosourcesAccount required
The full Doubao source set, tagged by ByteDance property, shows exactly how closed the citation graph is for your category.
How it renders
The complete card set behind the answer, with platform tagged.
Sampling
Source panels are wider and more stable than inline citations, so they reach a usable confidence interval at lower n.
Gotcha
Treating Douyin, Toutiao and Xigua as three independent publishers overstates diversity. We tag them as one ecosystem so concentration is visible.
What the API returns
A single collection call against Doubao for the sources field, sampled n times and returned as one object per prompt.
