Why do I need GEO Insights instead of calling AI APIs directly?

GEO Insights observes supported consumer AI platform experiences. Their search sources, settings and answers can differ from direct model API responses.

Which Chinese AI platforms are supported?

DeepSeek, Doubao, Tongyi Qianwen, Yuanbao, Kimi, Baidu AI+, Quark, and Weibo Zhisou.

2

We Query AI

Our system queries the AI platforms in real-time and collects full responses

3

Get Results

Poll for structured JSON results within 2-3 minutes

API Documentation

Three endpoints, async by design, poll status then fetch results

1. Submit a monitoring query

curl -X POST https://api.geotoolhub.com/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk-your-api-key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "geo-monitor",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "What are the best CRM tools?"}],
    "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"

# Response (poll every 5-10s until completed):
{"task_id": "uuid", "status": "completed"}

3. Fetch results

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

# Response:
{
  "task_id": "uuid",
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "answerContent": "Full AI response...",
    "referenceList": [{"title": "...", "url": "..."}],
    "citationList": [...]
  }
}

One-time add-on for subscribers. Separate balance, valid for 90 days, no automatic renewal. Not on sale yet.

USD before applicable tax. Paid subscriptions renew monthly; cancellation stops the next renewal. Unused monthly units do not roll over. Existing purchased rights remain unchanged. RapidAPI is billed separately.

Estimate ordinary search usage

Questions per run Platforms per question Runs per month

One ordinary successful question-platform result uses one base unit. Reasoning, screenshots and premium platforms may cost more; the task preview shows the applicable estimate. Platform availability varies.

Before you subscribe

How do renewal and cancellation work?

The preview plans renew monthly. Cancel the next renewal from billing management; the already-paid period remains available until its end. Monthly units expire at the end of their own billing period and do not roll over. Checkout is not open yet.

What happens when I run out of units?

Tasks stop when there is insufficient available allowance; there is no automatic overage purchase. The booster preview is a separate one-time balance for subscribers, valid for 90 days. It does not renew or change your subscription.

Do failed results consume allowance? Do API keys have separate credit?

Tasks reserve an estimated allowance and settle verified successful results. Unused reservations are released; partial success charges only the successful portion. All API keys share the account's balances. Creating another key does not create more credit.

Who handles payment, tax and refunds?

Creem hosts checkout; card details are entered there, not on GEO Insights. USD prices exclude applicable tax, which checkout shows before payment. Contact support for refund review; cancellation is not a refund. Refunded allowances are revoked without removing unrelated balances.

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?

GEO Insights observes supported consumer AI platform experiences, rather than treating a direct model API response as the same result. Search sources, platform settings and answers can differ. Returned source links and result metadata help you inspect each observation.

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 trial?

The new trial provides five one-time ordinary result units after email verification and eligibility checks. No monthly refill and no credit card required. Trial allowance is separate from paid balances. Controlled access applies; registering does not automatically open production querying for every account.

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
