## Trigger a tracking run

```http
POST /api/tracking/start
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer <SUPABASE_JWT>

{
  "brandId": "uuid",
  "platforms": ["chatgpt", "gemini", "perplexity"],
  "models": ["gemini-2.5-flash"]
}
```

Enqueues a tracking job. Returns:

```json
{
  "success": true,
  "jobId": "job-uuid"
}
```

## Poll job status

```http
GET /api/tracking/job/{jobId}
Authorization: Bearer <SUPABASE_JWT>
```

Returns:

```json
{
  "status": "active",
  "progress": { "phase": "querying-platforms", "completed": 12, "total": 30 },
  "result": null,
  "failedReason": null
}
```

`status` values: `waiting`, `active`, `completed`, `failed`, `cancelled`.

## Internal cron endpoint

The web app's cron route (`/api/cron/daily-tracking`) calls the server's internal endpoint with a shared secret:

```http
POST /cron/daily-tracking
Authorization: Bearer <CRON_SECRET>
```

This loops over every brand in the org, picks brands due for refresh based on `brand_platforms.check_frequency`, and enqueues tracking jobs for them.

<Note>
Vercel Cron triggers `/api/cron/daily-tracking` on a schedule defined in `web/vercel.json`. To run the same flow manually for testing, hit the server endpoint directly with the cron secret.
</Note>

## Latest results

For UI rendering, prefer the optimized RPC:

```http
POST /rest/v1/rpc/get_latest_prompt_results
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer <SUPABASE_JWT>

{
  "p_brand_id": "uuid",
  "p_platform": "chatgpt"  // optional
}
```

Returns the most recent `prompt_results` row per `(prompt_id, platform)` — much cheaper than `SELECT … ORDER BY created_at DESC LIMIT 1` per prompt in app code.
