# Run a GEO persona now

`POST /v1/projects/{projectId}/geo/personas/{personaId}/run`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.usenotra.com`
- URL: `https://api.usenotra.com/v1/projects/{projectId}/geo/personas/{personaId}/run`
- Auth: HTTP bearer
- TypeScript: <https://skmtc.dev/usenotra/apis/notra-api/docs/v1/projects/:projectId/geo/personas/:personaId/run/post.ts> (a function with typed inputs; its response is checked against the schema)

Plays the persona's conversation now and uses AI credits at twice the rate of a single prompt check. API-based answer engines run synchronously, so the request can stay open for several minutes; `checks`, `mentions` and `engines` report their result. Tracked consumer apps are queued as a background scan named by `queuedScanId`; poll `GET /v1/projects/{projectId}/geo/scans/{scanId}` for that part. Use a client timeout of at least five minutes. After four minutes the API answers 409 while the run finishes on its own; do not retry, read `GET …/personas/{personaId}/results` instead.

## Path parameters

- `projectId` string, required
- `personaId` string, required

## Response `200`
