fanout-queries
orc fanout-queries list retrieves stored search and shopping query occurrences from API-provider responses and browser observations in a Workspace. Filter by prompt, observation slice, model, brand, and date range to inspect query expansion within particular observations.
Authentication and access to the target Workspace are required. This does not run a new search or return aggregate metrics. Use query-fanout reports for aggregates. The same query text can occur repeatedly across observations or executions.
Usage
orc fanout-queries list --workspace <workspace-id>Retrieve stored query occurrences.
Subcommands
list
Combine --type search or shopping, --prompt-id, --observation-slice-id, --model-id, and --brand-id. An observation slice ID restricts terms to one browser observation. Results are ordered by generated_at then ID descending; preserve filters when following cursors.
orc fanout-queries list [options]Unique options
--type
Exact query kind. search selects search-style terms; shopping selects shopping terms. Omit to include both kinds.; enum: search|shopping
Type: string. Optional.
orc fanout-queries list --type <value>--prompt-id
Exact source prompt ID. Omit to include all prompts and rows without a prompt reference.
Type: string. Optional.
orc fanout-queries list --prompt-id <value>--observation-slice-id
Exact browser observation slice ID. Excludes API-provider rows, which have no slice reference. Omit to include both provenance paths.
Type: string. Optional.
orc fanout-queries list --observation-slice-id <value>--model-id
Exact stored model identifier. Browser observations use the model channel in this field; use a value returned by this endpoint. Omit to include all models.
Type: string. Optional.
orc fanout-queries list --model-id <value>--brand-id
Exact stored brand ID. Browser-observation rows have no brand reference and are excluded when this filter is set. Omit to include all brands and unassigned rows.
Type: string. Optional.
orc fanout-queries list --brand-id <value>--start-date
Inclusive timestamp lower bound supplied as a date (YYYY-MM-DD), starting at midnight. Omit for no lower bound.
Type: string. Optional.
orc fanout-queries list --start-date <value>--end-date
Inclusive timestamp upper bound supplied as a date (YYYY-MM-DD). The current query compares generated_at to midnight at the start of this date, not the end of the day. Omit for no upper bound.
Type: string. Optional.
orc fanout-queries list --end-date <value>Examples
Inspect shopping query expansion for a question
orc fanout-queries list --prompt-id <prompt-id> --type shopping --workspace <workspace-id> --jsonInspect shopping query expansion for a question
Retrieve a UTC date range
Start and end are UTC calendar dates in YYYY-MM-DD format, inclusive at both ends.
orc fanout-queries list --start-date 2026-10-01 --end-date 2026-10-03 --workspace <workspace-id>Retrieve a UTC date range
Filters and empty results
Filters are combined with AND; omitted filters do not restrict results. Follow next_cursor with the same filters.
A nonempty page reports state observed. On an empty page, fanout_availability describes Workspace-wide collection evidence and lifecycle without these filters. It is not a count or proof that no search occurred.
Aggregate query fanouts
The Alpha POST /v1/reports/fanout-aggregates operation aggregates stored search
query occurrences from API answers and completed browser observation slices.
It uses actual fanout evidence. The existing query-fanouts report retains its
legacy citation-based metric. Shopping queries are outside this report.
Use group_by: "query" (default) to group after trimming, lowercasing and
collapsing whitespace. variations lists up to 100 distinct original query
strings, with variation_count and variations_has_more describing the full set.share is the group's occurrence count divided by all grouped occurrences.execution_count counts distinct linked executions; per_execution_rate
divides this by eligible_execution_count, including confirmed empty captures.
Unavailable captures are excluded. Rows with an unlinked historical occurrence
return a null rate. API and browser copies linked to the same slice are counted
once per original query.
Use group_by: "term_ngram" with ngram_size from 1 through 5 (default 1)
for contiguous terms split at non-alphanumeric characters. Repeated n-grams
within one query count as repeated occurrences; execution counts remain distinct.
N-gram shares use the total number of n-gram occurrences.
Supply inclusive UTC start_date/end_date; optional prompt_ids andmodel_ids restrict both occurrences and the execution denominator. An empty
filter array selects no executions. Unknown fields/groupings and ngram_size
with query grouping return 400. limit and offset page the count-ranked
results after shares are calculated.
orc reports fanout-aggregates --start-date 2026-11-01 --end-date 2026-11-02 --group-by term_ngram --ngram-size 2MCP: get_fanout_aggregate_report accepts the same JSON fields.
