    "platforms": [{"platform": "deepseek", "mode": "search"}]
  }'

# Response (OpenAI-compatible, contains task_id):
{"choices": [{"message": {"content": "{\"task_id\":\"uuid\",\"status\":\"pending\"}"}}]}

2. Poll task status

curl https://api.geotoolhub.com/v1/tasks/{task_id}/status \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk-your-api-key"

Questions & answers

What is GEO Insights?

GEO Insights is an API service that monitors how brands appear in responses from Chinese AI platforms like DeepSeek, Doubao, and Tongyi Qianwen

Why not just call AI APIs directly?

Web-based AI platform results differ from standard API calls by over 20%, because:

Shallow RAG: API endpoints use shallow retrieval-augmented generation, causing significant information loss
Missing system prompts: APIs access bare models while web platforms inject thousands of words of system prompts
Single model vs MoE: APIs route to one model while web platforms use dynamic Mixture of Experts routing

Which platforms are supported?

DeepSeek, Doubao (ByteDance), Tongyi Qianwen (Alibaba), Yuanbao (Tencent), Kimi (Moonshot AI), Baidu AI+, Quark, and Weibo Zhisou

How does the API work?

Submit a query via our REST API, our system queries the AI platforms in real-time, collects responses, and returns structured data including AI answers, citations, and brand mention analysis within 2-3 minutes

What is GEO?

Generative Engine Optimization is the practice of optimizing a brand's visibility in AI-generated responses as more people use AI chatbots for research

Is there a free plan?

Yes, up to 7 monitoring tasks per month, no credit card required

How is this different from SEO monitoring?

SEO tools monitor search engine rankings while GEO Insights monitors AI chatbot responses, which synthesize information from multiple sources and may reference or omit your brand regardless of search ranking

Can I use this with existing tools?

Yes, our API follows the OpenAI chat completions format, making it compatible with most HTTP clients, API tools, and AI frameworks. Also available on RapidAPI
