## Response `200`

JSON response

- object
  - `created` integer, required
  - `skipped` integer, required
  - `warnings` string[]
  - `results` object[], required
    - `keyword` Keyword, required
      - `country` string, required: Resolved keyword location display name.
      - `created_at` string, date-time, required
      - `device` 'desktop' | 'mobile', required
      - `id` string, required
      - `intent` string, nullable, required
      - `latest_check` KeywordLatestCheck, nullable, required: The most recent executed check of any status. A completed check with `position: null` can have unknown coverage; read `observation_completeness` before inferring absence within the requested depth; `latest_check.status: "failed"` means "unknown, the check did not run to completion".
        - `checked_at` string, date-time, required
        - `error` string, nullable, required
        - `error_code` string, nullable, required
        - `id` string, required
        - `observation_completeness` 'complete' | 'truncated_by_stop_on_match' | 'unknown' | 'null', nullable, required: Persisted coverage, or null when legacy metadata is absent. Only complete coverage supports absence within depth; a valid positive rank remains valid with truncated coverage.
        - `position` integer, nullable, required
        - `run_id` string, nullable, required: Rank-check run that produced this check, or null for a legacy row.
        - `status` 'completed' | 'failed' | 'running', required
      - `latest_position` integer, nullable, required: `latest_position` = `latest_check.position`; it is `null` for failed checks, unknown observation coverage, or absence within the requested depth. Agents that need "the last known ranking" must read `latest_successful_check.position`.
      - `latest_successful_check` KeywordLatestSuccessfulCheck, nullable, required: The most recent completed check. Null position with unknown observation_completeness does not establish absence within depth.
        - `checked_at` string, date-time, required
        - `id` string, required
        - `observation_completeness` 'complete' | 'truncated_by_stop_on_match' | 'unknown' | 'null', nullable, required: Persisted coverage, or null when legacy metadata is absent. Only complete coverage supports absence within depth; a valid positive rank remains valid with truncated coverage.
        - `position` integer, nullable, required
        - `ranking_url` string, nullable, required
        - `run_id` string, nullable, required: Rank-check run that produced this check, or null for a legacy row.
      - `language_code` string, required
      - `language_label` string, required
      - `location` string, required: Resolved keyword location display name.
      - `location_key` string, required: Canonical country, region, or city key, optionally qualified with @language. The default language normalizes to the unqualified key.
      - `previous_position` integer, nullable, required: `previous_position` = the position recorded on `latest_check` as its predecessor.
      - `project_id` string, required
      - `ranking_url` string, nullable, required
      - `schedule` object, nullable, required
        - `cron_expression` string, nullable, required
        - `frequency` 'paused' | 'manual' | 'daily' | 'weekly' | 'monthly' | 'custom_cron', required
        - `jitter_minutes` integer, required: Whole-minute random delay from 0 to 120. Set 0 to disable jitter.
        - `last_checked_at` string, date-time, nullable, required
        - `next_check_at` string, date-time, nullable, required
        - `source` 'keyword' | 'project_default', required: Whether these schedule values come from the keyword's own row or from the project defaults.
        - `timezone` string, required: IANA time zone that anchors monthly and custom cron wall-clock schedules. Daily and weekly use a stable keyword-specific interval phase that timezone does not move.
      - `tags` string[], required
      - `target_url` string, nullable, required
      - `text` string, required
      - `topic` string, nullable, required
      - `updated_at` string, date-time, required
    - `status` 'created' | 'skipped', required
    - `warning` string
