POST /v1/visibility/targets
Watch a new domain.
Authentication
Send an API key as a bearer token. The endpoint checks sites.create; a key without it is refused with 403, not 404.
This endpoint takes no organisation id. Your key already identifies the organisation it belongs to, and the response is scoped to it.
Try it
Replace anything in angle brackets with your own values, and the key placeholder with a key from your dashboard.

Details
Adds a domain to the watch-list. A domain that is not hosted with us counts against the external-target allowance; the organisation's own sites do not. category and market decide what questions the answer engines are asked, and are the single most important thing a customer can supply — a reading taken on defaults is real and is worth less. brand is the trading name to look for in an answer, which is genuinely separate from the domain: a model that recommends a business by name without printing its URL has still mentioned them. cadence_days: 0 pauses the schedule. It does not delete anything: history and settings survive and it resumes with no further action.
