print(index["generated"], index["total_domains"])The public dataset reports citation rates, rankings, and evidence counts. It excludes internal query identifiers, raw cited URLs, and answer-engine provider payloads. MRI measures observed root-domain citations in monitored prompts, not all AI answers, recommendation quality, web traffic or commercial performance. A citation is not source support.

Embed this profile’s badge
The link goes to this profile, the alt text says what the badge shows, and the badge is live: it always shows the current release, so it changes when the release changes and returns 404 if this domain leaves the released population. The embedder decides the link’s rel attribute. To keep a fixed image, download the SVG.
