Retrieve a prompt answer

scope read:reports cost 2 RU

One engine answer in full: the prompt, the engine and model, whether and where it named the brand, the answer text, the pages it cites (citations) and the ones it read without citing (retrieved), and the businesses it names with their category. answer_id is an id from GET /v1/brands/{brand_id}/prompts/answers. An answer of another brand is 404 not_found.
