Data API / DataForSEO / AI Optimization
Live ChatGPT LLM Responses
Sends a user_prompt to a ChatGPT model and returns its reply, synchronously. model_name picks the model - see get_dataforseo_ai_chat_gpt_llm_responses_models, and an unlisted name is rejected outright. max_output_tokens, temperature and top_p behave as they do on the vendor's own API, and web_search or force_web_search let it browse. Returns model_name, input_tokens, output_tokens, reasoning_tokens, web_search, money_spent, datetime, items and fan_out_queries. Read money_spent on the response to see what a prompt actually cost. Wrapped in DataForSEO's envelope: data in tasks[0].result, outcome in tasks[0].status_code - a rejected request still returns HTTP 200. ⚠️ This is a general LLM call routed through a data provider, not an SEO measurement. If you want to know what ChatGPT tells users about a brand, post_dataforseo_ai_chat_gpt_llm_scraper_live reproduces the consumer experience instead.
Parameters
No path, query, or header parameters.
Request body
user_promptstringRequiredprompt for the AI model required field the question or task you want to send to the AI model; you can specify up to 500 characters in the user_prompt field
model_namestringRequiredname of the AI model required field model_nameconsists of the actual model name and version name; if the basic model name is specified, its latest version will be set by default; for example, if gpt-4.1 is specified, the gpt-4.1-2025-04-14 will be set as model_name automatically; you can receive the list of available LLM models by making a separate request to the https://api.dataforseo.com/v3/ai_optimization/chat_gpt/llm_responses/models
max_output_tokensintegerOptionalmaximum number of tokens in the AI response optional field minimum value for reasoning models (e.g., reasoning is true in the Models endpoint): 1024; minimum value for non-reasoning models: 16; maximum value: 4096; default value: 2048 Note: if web_search is set to true or the reasoning model is specified in the request, the output token count may exceed the specified max_output_tokens limit
temperaturenumberOptionalrandomness of the AI response optional field higher values make output more diverse; lower values make output more focused; minimum value: 0 maximum value: 2 default value: 0.94 Note: not supported in reasoning models
top_pnumberOptionalweb_searchbooleanOptionalenable web search optional field when enabled, the AI model can access and cite current web information; default value: false; Note: refer to the Models endpoint for a list of models that support web_search;
force_web_searchbooleanOptionalforce AI agent to use web search optional field to enable this parameter, web_search must also be enabled; when enabled, the AI model is forced to access and cite current web information; default value: false; Note: even if the parameter is set to true, there is no guarantee web sources will be cited in the response Note #2: not supported in reasoning models
web_search_country_iso_codestringOptionalISO country code of the location optional field required if web_search_city is specified; to enable this parameter, web_search must also be enabled; when enabled, the AI model will search the web from the country you specify; Note: not supported in o3-mini, o1-pro, o1 models
web_search_citystringOptionalcity name of the location optional field Note: specify web_search_country_iso_code to use this parameter Note #2: not supported in o3-mini, o1-pro, o1 models
system_messagestringOptionalinstructions for the AI behaviour optional field defines the AI's role, tone, or specific behavior you can specify up to 500 characters in the system_message field
message_chainobject[]Optionalconversation history optional field array of message objects representing previous conversation turns; each object must contain role and message parameters: role string with either user or ai role; message string with message content (max 500 characters); you can specify the maximum of 10 message objects in the array; example: "message_chain": [{"role":"user","message":"Hello, what’s up?"},{"role":"ai","message":"Hello! I’m doing well, thank you. How can I assist you today?"}]
rolestringRequiredAllowed values: user · ai
messagestringRequiredtagstringOptionaluser-defined task identifier optional field the character limit is 255 you can use this parameter to identify the task and match it with the result you will find the specified tag value in the data object of the response
