Competitors (own brands only), scan freshness, and the next date a scheduled scan is due (`null` for tiers with no cadence, on-demand or non-customer organisations, competitor rows, archived brands, and an organisation whose first scan has not completed yet). ## OpenAPI ````yaml /api-reference/openapi.json get /orgs/{orgId}/brands/{brandId} openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: Surfais API version: 1.0.0 description: >- The Surfais API gives programmatic access to the AI-visibility data Surfais measures for your brands: organisations, brands and competitors, tracked prompts, per-run results and mentions, scores, share of voice and cited sources. It can also provision brands, manage prompts and competitors, request on-demand scans, and deliver signed webhooks when a scan completes or a score or sentiment threshold is crossed. Base URL: `https://api.surfais.com/v1`. Send your API key as a Bearer token (`Authorization: Bearer sfs_live_…`). Test keys (`sfs_test_…`) are rejected by the production API. Requests and responses are JSON: a success is `{ "data": … }`, an error is `{ "error": { "code", "message" }, "request_id" }`. Guides for authentication, pagination, errors, rate limits, idempotency and webhooks are at https://docs.surfais.com/api/introduction. contact: name: Surfais support email: support@surfais.com url: https://docs.surfais.com/api/support servers: - url: https://api.surfais.com/v1 description: >- Production (the `/v1` prefix is part of the server URL; paths below are relative to it). security: - bearerKey: [] tags: - name: orgs description: Organisations reachable by the key, their usage, and the partner link. - name: brands description: Own brands (properties) and competitor rows. - name: prompts description: 'Tracked prompts: reads, CRUD and the declarative sync.' - name: results description: Finalised run-level data. - name: scores description: Persisted scores, per-market history and share of voice. - name: sources description: Cited domains. - name: scans description: On-demand scan requests. - name: webhooks description: >- Outbound event delivery: endpoints, subscriptions, deliveries (partner keys). externalDocs: description: Guides, concepts and webhooks url: https://docs.surfais.com/api/introduction paths: /orgs/{orgId}/brands/{brandId}: get: tags: - brands summary: Get a brand description: >- Brand detail.
