POST /v1/brands/{brand_id}/outreach/citations

Add pages to Backlink outreach

scope write:outreach cost 1 RU idempotent required

Add pages as outreach targets: pages AI engines cite that are not there yet, or any page worth pitching. Free. Pages already there are skipped, and new ones are categorized on their own a few minutes later. They then list in GET /v1/brands/{brand_id}/citations. Requires the editor role on the brand and the brand owner on Starter or with an active API subscription.

Path parameters

Query parameters

  • dry_run boolean optional

    Preview the call without executing it. Runs auth, scope, eligibility and body validation, then returns 200 with a dry_run object reporting the request-unit and credit cost plus a non-consuming quota snapshot. Nothing is debited, reserved, dispatched or mutated. An invalid body still returns 422.

    default: false

Header parameters

  • Idempotency-Key string required
