Methods<\/h3>\n

 
\nThe cost of using AI Optimization API depends on the selected method and priority of task execution. Available methods and priorities are described below.<\/p>\n

DataForSEO has two main methods to deliver the results: Standard and Live.<\/p>\n

If your system requires delivering instant results, the Live method<\/strong> is the best solution for you. Unlike the Standard method, this method doesn\u2019t require making separate POST and GET requests to the corresponding endpoints.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t need to receive data in real-time, you can use the Standard method<\/strong> of data retrieval. This method requires making separate POST and GET requests, but it\u2019s more affordable. Using this method, you can retrieve the results after our system collects them.<\/p>\n

\u200cAlternatively, you can specify pingback_url<\/code> or postback_url<\/code> when setting a task, and we will notify you on completion of tasks or send them to you respectively.<\/p>\n

If you need to set several tasks, you can receive the list of id for all completed tasks using \u2018Tasks Ready\u2019<\/strong> endpoint, and then collect the results of each separate task using \u2018Task GET\u2019 endpoint.<\/p>\n

AI Keyword Data API and LLM Mentions API support only the Live method of data retrieval. LLM Responses and LLM Scraper APIs support both Standard and Live methods, depending on the selected AI platform.<\/p>\n

Cost<\/h3>\n

 
\nThe cost can be calculated on the Pricing<\/a> page. You can check your spending in your account dashboard<\/a> or by making a separate call to the User Data endpoint<\/a><\/p>\n

You can test AI Optimization API for free using DataForSEO Sandbox.<\/a>
