# Get a competitor

`GET /api/mcp/projects/{projectId}/competitors/{competitorId}`

Full detail for one tracked competitor — the list-view fields plus a per-day history[] and up to 10 recent topPrompts[] it was mentioned in. Two distinct citation metrics: citations (top level) counts every citation on responses that mention the competitor, whatever domain it points at; history[].domainCitations counts citations whose URL is on the competitor's own domain. Returns 404 if competitorId doesn't exist or belongs to a different project. `days` defaults to 30, max 365.

- `429` — Rate limited. Usually the per-API-key REST limit (600 requests/minute); on Google-backed endpoints it can also relay an upstream Google rate limit. `Retry-After` (seconds) is present when the limit was applied by Searchable's own rate limiter; it may be absent when an upstream provider rate-limits.
- `504` — Error response. `code` is the machine-readable reason — see the [error reference](/api/errors) for the full catalog and remediation per code.
