| 2 | +Track Your AI Visibility with Python & RankBits API. |
| 3 | +
|
| 4 | +This script demonstrates the full workflow: |
| 5 | +1. Check your RankBits account and plan |
| 6 | +2. Create an AI visibility scan for any domain |
| 7 | +3. Poll until the scan completes |
| 8 | +4. Parse the results and generate visualizations |
| 9 | +
