Requests to this endpoint consume API units based on the prompts parameter: requests returning only custom prompt data are free, while requests including Ahrefs prompt data follow standard API unit pricing.

Every entity provided in brands (and competitors, when applicable) must include at least one value in url_groups. Entities consisting only of names are not supported here because citations are matched against URL groups.
