  note: The OpenAPI is anonymously readable at https://api.tryprofound.com/openapi.json, but calling the API requires an Enterprise
    plan plus an access request to support. Neither the Starter ($99/mo) nor Growth ($399/mo) tier includes API access.

description: Profound is a marketing platform for the AI era and a leading platform for Answer Engine Optimization (AEO).
  Operated by Cooper Square Technologies Inc. (dba Profound) in New York, it helps brands measure and improve how they are
  represented across AI answer engines and assistants — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode,
  Copilot, and Grok — through answer-engine insights, agent analytics, prompt volumes, shopping visibility, and content optimization.
  Profound publishes a 125-operation OpenAPI 3.1 for its External API at api.tryprofound.com, runs a separate Agent Analytics
  Ingestion API, ships official Python and TypeScript SDKs, and operates a hosted remote MCP server at mcp.tryprofound.com
  with OAuth 2.1 and a conformant A2A agent card. API access is included on the Enterprise plan on request. Profound is SOC
  2 and HIPAA aligned and publishes a responsible-disclosure policy. Backed by Kleiner Perkins.
