AI citation API — find the sources AI engines cite (GEO) | Getspotted
The AI citation API
Getspotted is the AI citation API for GEO (generative engine optimization): it returns the sources ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini and Google cite for any query, per country, scored with per-engine positions, plus the contacts behind them. Authenticate, send a query, get cited sources back. Every search covers all six engines and costs 10 credits.
1. Get an API key
Create a key in your dashboard under Developers → API keys. The secret is shown once, so store it safely. Send it on every request as Authorization: Bearer gsp_live_….
2. Make your first call
curl -X POST https://getspotted.ai/api/v1/search \
-H "authorization: Bearer gsp_live_…" \
-H "content-type: application/json" \
-d '{"query":"best CRM for B2B SaaS","country":"US"}'
You get back a list of cited sources, each with the engines that cited it, its per-engine position, and a cross-engine score. The strongest cross-engine sources are also surfaced as hotspots.
3. Pick your language
