Capabilities

Tools 19

zenserp_answer_engine

Send a prompt to an AI answer engine (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini or Copilot) and get its answer_text with citations; with brand it also reports whether and where that brand was cited. SPENDS quota at Zenserp's premium per-answer rate (see Zenserp pricing), is slow (seconds to a minute), and must not be repeated needlessly. Plan gate: Medium unlocks ChatGPT, Large adds Perplexity, Premium adds Gemini, Enterprise adds Copilot. GET /v1/answer-engine.

Discovered

Google Flights options. Best: origin and destination as 3-letter airport codes plus departure_date (dates and curr are honoured only then). A free-text q or a tfs string from a Google Flights URL also works. SPENDS 1 request of the monthly quota per successful call (failed calls are not charged); do not repeat a call needlessly. GET /v1/flights.

Discovered

The number of search requests left on this Zenserp key's plan (remaining_requests). Free: it spends no quota. GET /v2/status.

Discovered

Discovered
