Show 90 matches
  • Adobe Brand Visibility Qualified

    The only documented API surface is the Edge Optimize production and staging key used to route CDN traffic; no reporting or data-retrieval API is documented, so visibility data leaves through CSV and PDF export or the analytics connectors.

    Checked 2026-09-12

  • AEO Engine Qualified

    A keyless public API exists but only runs the free report, with per-IP, per-email and per-domain rate limits; no API is documented for the paid dashboard's tracking data.

    Checked 2026-09-10

  • AEOlens Qualified

    A documented REST API with long-lived keys exists, but the comparison table shows a dash for Solo and the CI endpoint refuses anything below Growth.

    Checked 2026-10-14

  • Ahrefs Brand Radar Yes

    A documented Brand Radar API exposes roughly twenty endpoints for responses, cited pages and domains, mentions and share of voice; most rows cost API units, but custom-prompt pulls are exempt.

    Checked 2026-09-19

  • AIclicks Qualified

    A documented read-only REST API exists but is withheld from Starter; it has no write endpoints and no webhooks.

    Checked 2026-10-04

  • AI Search Watcher Yes

    A documented REST API covers models, monitors and prompts, is included on every tier including Free, and draws on the plan's API quota.

    Checked 2026-09-17

    A Bearer-authenticated REST API ships on all five tiers with published monthly call ceilings and rate-limit headers, keys self-issued in settings.

    Checked 2026-09-19

  • AI Visibility Audit Qualified

    The stack is a FastAPI backend guarded by a shared API key that the bundled frontend calls, so a self-hoster can query it locally, but no endpoint reference, client library or versioned API contract is published.

    Checked 2026-09-16

  • Amplitude AI Visibility Qualified

    No AI Visibility-specific API is documented; results reach your stack indirectly as Amplitude analytics events plus CSV export, and Amplitude's platform SDKs and APIs are included on every plan.

    Checked 2026-10-15

  • Analyze AI Qualified

    Programmatic access exists through the token-authenticated remote MCP server, but the docs publish no REST API reference and traffic analytics are excluded from that surface.

    Checked 2026-09-12

  • ApexGEO Qualified

    API access is listed only in the Enterprise column, which is custom-quoted from $999/mo and sold on annual contracts.

    Checked 2026-10-15

  • Archytas AISpy Qualified

    There is no public or REST API for AISpy itself; programmatic access means reading the local SQLite file it writes, or picking up scheduled CSV/XLSX dumps, and the GUI has to be running for any data to exist.

    Checked 2026-09-13

  • AthenaHQ Qualified

    A documented REST API exists and is included on Enterprise, but on the entry paid plan it is a separately billed add-on with unpublished pricing.

    Checked 2026-09-20

    Checked 2026-09-12

  • BabyLoveGrowth Qualified

    A key-authenticated REST API exists on both plans but is pull-only and exposes generated articles alone, not visibility or audit data.

    Checked 2026-10-04

  • Bloomiro Qualified

    Programmatic access exists as a hosted MCP endpoint authenticated by OAuth or a project API key; no conventional REST or GraphQL API is documented on the site.

    Checked 2026-09-21

  • BrightEdge Yes

    BrightEdge Connect is a REST API used to push rank, search and social data into analytics and BI stacks; packaging by tier is not published.

    Checked 2026-09-11

    API access is a tier feature, marked absent on Starter and present on Growth and Enterprise, and the vendor publishes no developer documentation, endpoint reference or authentication guide anywhere on the site to say what it returns.

    Checked 2026-09-08

  • Canonry Yes

    The self-hosted platform exposes a versioned REST API alongside CLI and webhooks, with the dashboard described as just another client of the same project API.

    Checked 2026-10-03

  • CheckThat.ai Qualified

    API tokens exist inside the paid platform's admin and govern programmatic access, but GrowthX issues and manages them, customers see the screen read-only, no public API reference is published, and the terms forbid automated extraction.

    Checked 2026-09-11

  • CisionOne AI Visibility Qualified

    A REST API exists but its published scope is media monitoring only: the v2 reference documents mentions, streams and stream stats, with no AI Visibility endpoint, and access needs an admin-generated token.

    Checked 2026-09-11

  • Citadex Qualified

    A May 2026 comparison post claims an API, but no plan tier lists API access, no API documentation exists in the help centre, and the same post is stale on price and engine count.

    Checked 2026-09-21

    An API exists but the Terms restrict it to an Enterprise plan that the public pricing page does not list, and docs and pricing are by request only.

    Checked 2026-09-24

    A REST API is ticked on all three plans and documented for dashboards, ETL and scheduled jobs with per-workspace keys.

    Checked 2026-09-21

    Checked 2026-10-06

  • Dageno Qualified

    A documented REST API with x-api-key auth exists and covers prompts, citations and opportunities, but plan access starts only at Scale, the $410 tier; Starter and Growth get no API at all.

    Checked 2026-09-15

    A documented REST API v1 with bearer-token auth covers projects, articles, publishing, backlinks, Search Console and AI visibility, with per-endpoint rate limits.

    Checked 2026-09-25

  • EdenRank Qualified

    A documented read-only REST API with self-serve keys exists, but only from the $299 Concierge tier; write APIs and webhooks are explicitly not offered.

    Checked 2026-09-13

  • Elmo Yes

    A documented REST API ships on every plan and in the self-hosted build, with organization keys that carry explicit scopes, can be limited to chosen brands and can be given an expiry.

    Checked 2026-09-11

    API access is listed only in the custom-quoted Enterprise plan and in the agency programme; the $29 Lite plan does not include it.

    Checked 2026-09-23

    A versioned REST API with an OpenAPI spec exists, but the brand plan table withholds API and webhooks from Starter and Business; agency tiers all include it.

    Checked 2026-09-08

    The authenticated REST API, CLI and GitHub Action start at Launch; free accounts get only the playground and the unauthenticated single-page scan endpoint.

    Checked 2026-09-03

  • Frase Yes

    A REST API with JSON, key-header auth and HMAC-signed webhooks is on every plan, including the entry tier, with request ceilings of 5,000/20,000/50,000 per month by tier.

    Checked 2026-10-03

  • Gauge Qualified

    Gauge Chat data is reachable programmatically through the MCP endpoint with a bearer API key, while the documented REST API reference covers the separate Gauge Agents product.

    Checked 2026-10-05

  • GeoArk AI Qualified

    API access is withheld from all three published plans and appears only on the quote-only Custom tier, with no public documentation.

    Checked 2026-09-24

  • GeoRankers Qualified

    Launch and Grow show a dash for API access and the row itself is labelled Roadmap, so only custom-quoted Enterprise is offered one.

    Checked 2026-09-14

  • GEORankHub Qualified

    The hosted site publishes no API documentation, key issuance or developer portal; a programmatic HTTP and SSE surface exists only if you deploy the Apache-2.0 GEOrank stack yourself, where the gateway routes /api to the FastAPI backend.

    Checked 2026-09-19

  • geoSurge Yes

    A REST API is ticked for both Free and Enterprise columns, and the docs publish a hosted API reference rather than gating it behind a sales call.

    Checked 2026-09-24

  • GEO Tool Qualified

    The public API is open and unauthenticated but only exposes blog posts and the aggregate visibility index; the page analysis itself is deliberately kept out of it.

    Checked 2026-09-14

  • GetCito Qualified

    A Bearer-authenticated REST API with an OpenAPI 3 contract ships in the open-source self-hosted build; no plan row offers it on the managed tiers.

    Checked 2026-09-25

  • getSichtbar Qualified

    A public OpenAPI description and manifest exist, but they expose appointment booking for agents rather than the answer-market or citation data.

    Checked 2026-10-03

  • Goodie Qualified

    The API row is unchecked for Core and Pro and checked only for Enterprise, so programmatic pulls require a custom-quoted contract.

    Checked 2026-09-15

  • HubSpot AEO Qualified

    A beta AEO API returns prompts, prompt runs with response text and citations, and recommendations under scope marketing.aeo.read - but the reference gates it to Marketing Hub Professional or higher, not the $50 standalone plan.

    Checked 2026-09-02

  • Indexly Qualified

    A documented X-API-Key REST API exists for visibility, citation and sentiment data, but the APIs row is crossed out on Starter and Growth and ticked only on Scale.

    Checked 2026-10-07

  • Keyword.com AI Visibility Yes

    A documented AI Visibility API returns aggregated visibility, sentiment, citation and competitor metrics; on the entry AI plan the API covers AI Visibility data only, not Google SERP.

    Checked 2026-10-09

  • Knowatoa Qualified

    A documented REST API exists, but the plan table puts the whole reporting stack on Growth and above while the API feature page claims all plans include it.

    Checked 2026-10-10

  • LLMClicks.ai AI Visibility Tracker Qualified

    Accounts carry a rotatable API key documented for external integrations and used by the WordPress plugin, but no endpoints, reference docs or rate limits are published.

    Checked 2026-09-03

  • LLM Pulse Qualified

    A documented Bearer-token REST API with SDKs and a CLI exists, but the plan cards place API access on Scale, two tiers above the €49 (about $55) entry plan.

    Checked 2026-09-27

  • LLMrefs Yes

    A documented bearer-token REST API covers organizations, projects and keywords, is included in the single plan, and is rate-limited to ten requests per minute.

    Checked 2026-10-11

  • Local Dominator AI Tracker Qualified

    There is a documented AI Tracker Public API with campaign, results and rankings endpoints, but the plan cards put API access on Pro and above, so the two cheapest tiers cannot use it.

    Checked 2026-09-26

  • Local Falcon Qualified

    The data-retrieval REST API is ticked on every plan including Starter, but the on-demand API that returns scans in real time is a separate $199/month subscription plus per-request fees.

    Checked 2026-10-11

  • Maple Labs Qualified

    The offers section says unlimited API access is included on both missions, while the FAQ makes API, JSON and Markdown conditional on the agreed perimeter.

    Checked 2026-10-03

  • Meltwater GenAI Lens Qualified

    A documented AI Visibility API returns GenAI Lens prompts, trends and share of voice, but the plan comparison grid ticks API & MCP Integrations only for Enterprise and Agency.

    Checked 2026-09-18

    Checked 2026-09-09

  • Morningscore Yes

    Checked 2026-09-27

  • Nightwatch Qualified

    A REST API is excluded from Starter and included from Professional up; Agency adds custom API rate limits.

    Checked 2026-09-28

  • Omnia Yes

    API Access is ticked in all three columns of the comparison table and a REST reference is published, so data can be pulled from the entry plan upward.

    Checked 2026-09-28

  • OmniSEO Qualified

    No API is documented anywhere on the site. The word never appears about their own product across all 84 sitemap pages, and there is no docs, api or integrations route. The only machine-readable path is JSON export on Enterprise, beside a Custom server-side-events row.

    Checked 2026-09-03

  • OpenSEO Qualified

    Personal API keys exist, but they authenticate the hosted MCP endpoint for headless clients; the docs describe no separate REST or data API for your own stack.

    Checked 2026-09-09

  • Orchly Qualified

    A documented REST API covers visibility, rankings and traffic endpoints, but it is excluded from the entry tier: the API access row reads Not included for Essential.

    Checked 2026-10-07

    A documented REST API exists but is beta and Enterprise-only, and the plan table marks API access absent on Starter, Pro and Advanced while the homepage advertises the API with no such condition.

    Checked 2026-09-03

  • Profound Qualified

    A documented REST API with Python and JavaScript SDKs exists, but the plan table marks API No on both self-serve tiers and access is granted on request.

    Checked 2026-09-09

  • Promptwatch Yes

    A documented REST API with v1 and v2 surfaces, X-API-Key authentication and published rate limits is included from the entry Essential plan, not sold as an add-on.

    Checked 2026-09-30

  • Qwairy Qualified

    The REST API is absent from the entry Starter tier and first appears on Growth, so programmatic access costs an upgrade rather than coming with the cheapest paid plan.

  • RadarKit Yes

    API access is marked Yes in the Reporting & data section for all four plans, including the cheapest Lite tier, with no add-on charge stated.

    Checked 2026-10-12

  • Rankscale Qualified

    A REST API exists but the comparison table crosses it out on Essentials and Pro; it arrives on Growth at $385/month, limited there to metrics and share links.

    Checked 2026-09-30

  • Rankshift Yes

    A REST API with per-project bearer tokens is listed on all three self-serve plans, though the citation page instead says API access starts on Professional, so the entry tier is contradicted.

    Checked 2026-09-30

  • RankZero Qualified

    A documented REST API returns per-brand visibility, GSC and GA4 data, but keys are not self-issued and must be requested.

    Checked 2026-10-13

    Query, responses and agent-traffic APIs, but API access is an Enterprise line item and is billed on responses collected.

    Checked 2026-09-02

    A REST API with bearer keys is an included row on every published plan including entry-level Pro, though keys cannot be made on the free plan the docs mention.

    Checked 2026-10-13

  • Semrush AI Visibility Toolkit Qualified

    Semrush publishes a unit-metered API v3/v4 for SEO, traffic and project data, but no AI Visibility endpoint is documented; the pricing page reserves custom API work for Enterprise.

    Checked 2026-09-18

  • SEOmatic Qualified

    Checked 2026-10-03

  • SEORCE Qualified

    Checked 2026-09-15

    A documented REST API covers projects, prompts, results, metrics and cited sources, keyed by the same SE Ranking token, and the plan cards name no tier where it is withheld.

    Checked 2026-09-17

  • Similarweb AI Search Intelligence Qualified

    The API is not part of the self-serve $99/$399 AI Search tiers; it is a Business/Enterprise entitlement or a separate purchase.

  • Sleepwalker AI Yes

    A documented REST API with scoped bearer keys creates and polls runs and reads results, limited to 300 authenticated requests an hour by default.

    Checked 2026-10-09

  • Surfer Qualified

    The API is reachable only on the top self-serve plan, as a paid add-on, or on Enterprise, and the pricing table marks it absent from every cheaper tier.

    Checked 2026-10-09

    Checked 2026-10-14

The population

124 listings in this index are Published. This is the population as of 2026-10-14. 124 of the 124 published listings in this index carry a settled answer for “API access”. That row asks: Can you pull the data into your own stack? Every listing in the index is settled on this row, so nothing is left out.

Findings

  1. 27 of the 124 settled listings answer “Yes” for “API access”. That is 22% of the settled set.

  2. 63 of the 124 settled listings answer “Qualified” for “API access”. That is 51% of the settled set.

  3. 14 of the 124 settled listings answer “No” for “API access”. That is 11% of the settled set.

  4. 5 of the 124 settled listings answer “Does not apply” for “API access”. That is 4% of the settled set.

  5. 15 of the 124 settled listings answer “Not established” for “API access”. That is 12% of the settled set.

1 of those yes answers is Frase, which still answers yes for “API access”. Its listing carries the stored answer and links to the source recorded for it. This is one worked example, not an independent audit of every source in the census.

What we counted, and how

Each figure above is a count over the “API access” row of the listing datasheet, taken from the same stored answer the listing page renders. The denominator is the 124 listings whose answer is settled, meaning one of yes, qualified, no, does not apply, not established. On this row that is the whole index, because every listing has a recognised stored answer. Every number here is stored with the read-only query that reproduces it and re-run every sixty seconds against the live corpus, so a figure that stops reproducing surfaces as drift rather than as a stale sentence nobody notices. Our full method covers how a datasheet row is settled in the first place.

Limitations

This counts stored datasheet answers, not independently tested capabilities. A sourced answer can record a vendor statement or our reading of published evidence; this census does not re-fetch those sources. “Not established” means we have not established an answer. That can reflect vendor nondisclosure, blocked evidence, or unfinished research, not a no. An absent or unrecognised answer is excluded rather than treated as a researched finding. The figures are restated when the stored corpus changes; the date above is the count used for this published version, not a new verification of the vendors.
