# FetchLayer, free: ChatGPT scraper API

> The answer ChatGPT gives a prompt, with everything behind it: the answer as Markdown and as plain text, the pages it cites (each with the sentence that cites it), every inline citation, the web searches it actually ran, and every page it looked at while searching — each flagged cited, because a page can be read and never cited.

FetchLayer's Free plan for the ChatGPT scraper API costs $0.00 per 1,000 answers. We check each provider's docs for 12 fields. FetchLayer's docs list 3: Citations, Search queries, Model.
