Monitor Grok answers with an API
Grok answers differently because it reads differently: alongside web pages it draws on X posts in near real time. For brands, that means the conversation on X literally shapes what Grok tells people about you — a feedback loop no other engine has.
The endpoint
curl -X POST https://api.answerline.dev/v1/monitor/grok \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY" \
-d '{ "prompt": "what do people think of acme analytics?", "country": "US" }'The response includes the answer text/markdown, sources[] for web citations, searchQueries[] for the fan-out, and posts[] — the X posts Grok surfaced, with author, text and URL. That last field is unique to Grok: it exposes which posts are shaping the narrative.
When Grok monitoring matters most
- Reputation and sentiment: “what do people think of X” prompts surface real opinions — and the posts driving them.
- Breaking topics: Grok reacts to news through X faster than index-based engines; it’s the early-warning surface.
- Crisis monitoring: if a negative narrative is spreading on X, Grok is where it shows up in an AI answer first.
Reading posts[] as a signal
Each surfaced post is evidence: who’s talking, what they said, how visible it is. Track which posts recur across runs — a post that keeps appearing in answers is worth engaging, correcting, or amplifying. Pair it with sources[] to see the web-vs-X balance for your topic.
