# AI visibility APIs for developers

The api category covers 2 of the tools we track, including KNWN and DataForSEO AEO. These are API-first. You pull AI search and citation data into your own product or dashboards instead of logging into theirs. Aeonav is the open-source option in this space: self-host it for free and audit how every number is built.

## Aeonav: the open-source alternative

The tools here are API-first. Aeonav gives you the data and the code: self-host the whole platform, read how every metric is produced, and pull mentions and citations into your own dashboards without paying per call or depending on a pipeline you cannot see.
