How to Define Targets and Analyze Data in the LLM Mentions API
in
The LLM Mentions API transforms raw AI search data into actionable intelligence. By combining flexible targeting, structured metrics and source data, you can uncover where and how your brand or competitors are mentioned.
This guide lists the features available, explains how to configure and customize request parameters, and interpret API responses.
What you get with LLM Mentions API endpoints
The LLM Mentions API provides multiple endpoints, each serving a distinct purpose in analyzing visibility and performance in AI search results.
The Search Mentions endpoint provides mention data from AI searches, including:
- the full question and answer,
- lists of related sources (which the model cited or relied on in its final answer),
- search results (all web search outputs the model retrieved when looking up information, including duplicates and unused entries),
- AI search volume and monthly searches.
The Top Mentioned Domains endpoint provides data on LLM mentions for the specified target (keywords and/or domains) grouped by the most frequently mentioned domains.
The Top Mentioned Pages endpoint, similarly, provides insights for the specified target (keywords and/or domains), but grouped by the most frequently mentioned pages.
The Target Metrics endpoint summarizes overall data for mentions of the target keywords and/or domains you specify. It is especially useful when you want to see the big picture, such as total impressions or most-cited domains, without reviewing each mention individually.
The Multi-Target Metrics endpoint is designed for side-by-side comparison of multiple targets in a single request. The request configuration is a bit more complex here than for the rest of the endpoints, but it is ideal for benchmarking brands, products, or competitors. To learn more about this comparison method and the endpoint specifics, refer to the Multi-Target Metrics article.
Configuring requests in Search Mentions, Top Mentioned Domains, Top Mentioned Pages, and Target Metrics endpoints
Understanding the target array
Endpoints like Search Mentions, Top Mentioned Domains, Top Mentioned Pages, and Target Metrics use a target array to define what mentions your request should find. You can specify up to 10 entities in it, but at least one is required. A single entity (object) can contain either a domain or a keyword, with optional additional parameters that help to refine which mentions to return in the results.
Example:
"target": [
{
"domain": "store.google.com",
"search_filter": "exclude",
"search_scope": [
"sources"
]
},
{
"keyword": "pixel 9",
"search_filter": "include",
"search_scope": [
"question"
],
"match_type": "partial_match"
}
]
Each target entity has its own rules.
1. Domain entity example
{
"domain": "store.google.com",
"search_filter": "exclude",
"search_scope": [
"sources"
]
}
Let’s explain the parameters here:
domain(required if you do not plan to use a keyword entity) allows you to include or exclude mentions from a specific website using the search_filter parameter (set to “include” by default).search_scopedefines where to look for mentions with the following options:sources– in the list of sources cited by the AI,search_results– in the source domains from the model’s background retrieval,any(default) – all contexts.
2. Keyword entity example
{
"keyword": "pixel 9",
"search_filter": "include",
"search_scope": [
"question"
],
"match_type": "partial_match"
}
In this case, your request will search for mentions with the specified keyword (when search_filter is set to include) or without it (if set to exclude). The search_scope defines where to look for keyword mentions:
question– look in user queries.answer– look in the AI-generated responses.any(default).
The match_type defines how the keyword is matched:
word_match(default) finds the keyword as a standalone term, even inside longer queries (e.g., “pixel” matches “pixel 9”, “google pixel 9 review”),partial_matchfinds substrings inside longer words (e.g., “pixel 9” matches “pixel 9a”, “pixel” matches “pixellab”).
Full request example for the Search Mentions endpoint
Let’s get mentions related to Google Pixel 9 phones appearing in questions that trigger Google AI Overview in English in the US. We’ll allow partial matches for keyword “Pixel 9,” so variations like “Pixel 9a” are also counted, but will exclude Google’s store from sources. To keep results meaningful, we’ll also limit them to three items, apply ordering by descending search volume, and filter out low-volume mentions ["ai_search_volume", ">", 1000]. See the full list of available filters here.

}

Additional parameters
Besides the parameters in the request above, you can use a few more optional settings listed in the endpoint’s docs.
Also, several additional parameters are specific to the following endpoints.
Top Mentioned Pages, Top Mentioned Domains:
links_scopespecifies which links (fromsourcesorsearch_results) will be used to extract data,initial_dataset_filtersapplies filtering to compile a fitting dataset,limitsets the number of results to return in the items array.
Top Mentioned Pages, Top Mentioned Domains, Target Metrics:
internal_list_limitsets the number of results to return in thesources_domainandsearch_results_domainarrays.
Interpreting the API response
The API will return a JSON response, where total_count shows the number of all mentions in our database fitting the request parameters, and the items array contains all the insights for analysis. This is where the endpoint compiles question–answer pairs derived from AI searches and the sources that support them.

Each item represents a specific mention cluster, for instance, for “google pixel 9,” “google pixel 9 pro,” or “pixel 9 pro xl.” These items include data on platform, location, and language for which the data was collected, followed by the question and answer pair, and the sources the AI model used to generate the answer. The sources section shows which domains or publishers the model sees most authoritative for those discussions. The search_results field, when available, expands on background evidence the model retrieved but did not cite directly.
The ai_search_volume metric estimates how often that query appears across AI searches. Meanwhile, monthly_searches tracks these trends over time, showing month-by-month search volume fluctuations, revealing seasonality and interest spikes.
By analyzing these items, you can understand what users are most curious about, which domains hold influence and get cited by AI assistants, and when user attention peaks.
Wrap up
The LLM Mentions API will help you uncover the questions users ask, the answers AI systems generate, and the sources they trust most. With precise and flexible targeting and filtering, you can build a reliable system for brand monitoring and competitor research in the AI search landscape.
