POST /v1/page-audit

Audit one or more pages

scope read:audit cost 3 RU · 1 credit rate-limit 10/minute · key idempotent required

Audit public pages against SEO and AEO best practices and return, per page, an overall score plus concrete recommendations.

Provide exactly one of url (a single page), urls (several), or sitemap (a sitemap.xml or bare domain whose first pages are audited). Domain-level checks (robots.txt, sitemap, /llms.txt, SSL) are fetched once per domain and reused across that domain's pages.

Per-page checks include <title> / meta description length, a single <h1>, Schema.org JSON-LD, canonical, Open Graph + Twitter cards, image alt-text, indexability (noindex), and content freshness.

Pricing: 1 credit per page that is successfully audited; a page that cannot be fetched is not charged. credits_charged reports the total spent. Pass a request_id (unique per intended billable audit) to make a retried per-URL charge idempotent; omit it and every call is charged.

Security: only https URLs on public hosts are accepted; internal hosts, loopback and cloud-metadata addresses are rejected, including on redirects.

Subject to the LLM-tier rate limit (stricter than the global /v1 burst cap).
