ChatGPT citations

Currently, the ScrapingBee ChatGPT API is not able to return citations 100% of the time. Our team is aware of this issue and is looking into possibilities to either always return them or increase the return rate to a reasonable level.

Citations with the ChatGPT scraper also depend on the prompt used; some prompts may have a higher success rate than others.

They are visible in our API at the bottom of the response, in results_markdown. If you are checking the full HTML, it would be under this element:
