trigger_visibility_scan_preview

Run a lightweight, shareable brand-page preview report for any website URL.

Trigger a lightweight Visibility Scan Preview for a website URL. It produces a single shareable brand-page report with two scores (overall AI visibility 0–100 and direct-brand knowledge 0–100), a summary, observations, recommendations, persona archetypes, and category prompts. Reports typically complete in 30–90 seconds — poll with get_visibility_scan_preview.

This is distinct from scan_visibility, which creates a Pendium-managed agent and runs a full scan with raw LLM responses. Use the preview when you want a fast, public, shareable report — for example, for outreach — without managing an agent.

Authentication: Required — Starter or Pro plan.

Parameters

ParameterTypeRequiredDefaultDescription
urlstring (URL)YesWebsite URL to scan, e.g. https://acme.com.
isPublicbooleanNotruetrue: the report is slug-addressable at /brand/preview/{slug} (best for outreach links). false: kept at the per-UUID preview URL only. Partner accounts: scans are always private and shared via the white-labeled partner URL — isPublic is ignored (no public slug is assigned), so leave it out. The partner-only REST endpoint POST /api/visibility/scan-preview accepts isPublic: true for backward compatibility but coerces it to false and returns a deprecation warning.

Returns

uuid, status (pending), reportUrl, and isPublic. Poll get_visibility_scan_preview with the uuid every 5–15 seconds until status is complete.
