# Capture Competitor Serps Ep

`POST /sites/{site_id}/competitors/capture`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.xeorank.com` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://api.xeorank.com/sites/{site_id}/competitors/capture`
- Auth: API key in header `X-Agent-Key`

Fetch SERPs for this site's most valuable keywords and record who outranks it.

THE ONLY PAID PATH in the competitive family — roughly $0.0155 per keyword.
Keywords captured within the cache window are skipped, so a repeat call
inside the month costs nothing. Pass ``dry_run=true`` to see exactly what
would be fetched, and the estimated cost, without spending.

## Path parameters

- `site_id` string, required

## Query parameters

- `email` string, nullable
- `max_keywords` integer
- `dry_run` boolean

## Response `200`

Successful Response

- object

## Other responses
