The Data score on ChatGPT scraper APIs

This score, out of 100, tells you how much of ChatGPT's answer a provider's call returns. We ask ChatGPT one prompt at a time, from the United States. One prompt is "What are the best GitHub user repository APIs?". We check which parts of the answer the call returns. The parts include the text, the raw data, the pages ChatGPT cites, the links in the text and the ads. ChatGPT gives a new answer each time you ask, so we don't compare the words of two answers. We compare each list with the longest list on the same prompt. The cited pages are one such list. We score a call that answers from a stored copy against the live answers. We average the scores over all prompts. Each prompt counts the same. A prompt with no answer counts as 0. We compare a provider that ran on fewer prompts with the other providers on those same prompts. A provider can't score higher by running only on easy prompts. We lower the score when we test the call on fewer prompts than the benchmark has.
