First request
Get an API key in the dashboard, then ask ChatGPT a question:
export API_KEY=sk_...
curl -X POST "https://api.answerline.dev/v1/monitor/chatgpt" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY" \

Or install an SDK:
npm install @answerline/sdk

The quickstart walks through async tasks, webhooks and country targeting.
Guides
Quickstart
From an API key to a synchronous answer, an async task and a webhook, with curl, the TypeScript SDK and the Python SDK.
Authentication and errors
API keys, the error envelope and every error code, which requests are safe to retry, and request ids.
Accounts, teams and API keys
Sign-in, owner and member roles, invites, creating and rotating API keys, the audit log, and exporting or deleting your data.
Rate limits
No per-account request rate limit, uncapped concurrency, a queue of about 100,000 typical tasks, and the headers that report them.
Balance and pricing
Your USD balance, top-ups, free requests, price tiers, and how requests are reserved and charged.
Async tasks and batches
Queue single tasks or batches of up to 500 with priorities and idempotency keys, collect results and manage the queue.
Webhooks
Receive task results by webhook: payload, signature verification, secret rotation, retries and delivery order.
Measuring visibility
Why one answer misleads, how many samples to take, and how to measure a brand's mention rate, rank and citations with plain HTTP or the SDK helpers.
MCP server
Connect AI agents and MCP clients to the hosted MCP server: endpoints, authentication, tools and costs.
Integrations
Call the API from n8n, Zapier and LangChain for Python and JavaScript.
Coverage and limits
Which engines are sold, the countries each answers from, US-state targeting, and which targeting fields each takes.
Engine features
Which include flags and result fields each served engine supports, what they cost, which come back empty today, and each engine's targeting.
Output formats
When to use text or include.markdown, which engine returns which, the provenance on every answer, the free include.rawWire raw engine response, what each costs, include.html, the copy of the page an answer came from, and include.screenshot, a picture of it.
Versioning and deprecation
How the API is versioned, what counts as a breaking change, and how deprecations are announced.
API reference
Every endpoint, parameter and response code, generated from the OpenAPI document.
Engines
Each engine page lists its request options, the fields it returns and its price.
