Your site ID

Your site ID names one site in CitedSEO. It is the only thing the feed needs.

Where to find it

In the CitedSEO app, open Settings, then Integrations, then Publishing. The feed address is shown there with a copy button. Your site ID is the first part of its path:

GEThttps://feeds.citedseo.ai/{siteId}/feed/index.json

Each site has its own ID, so a workspace with several sites has several feeds.

It is a read key, not a secret

The feed holds only your live articles, which are already public on your site, and the ID is a long random value nobody can guess. Reading the feed gives nobody anything they couldn’t get from your blog, so:

• You can read the feed from the browser. It answers any origin.
• You can commit the ID to your repository or put it in a public environment variable.
• There is nothing to rotate.

A webhook secret is different

The signing secret you get when you add a webhook endpoint (whsec_…) is a secret. Keep it on the server and out of your repository. See Verify the signature.

Keep it in one place

Put the ID in an environment variable so the feed address is built once:

.env

CITEDSEO_SITE_ID=YOUR_SITE_ID

The framework guides all read it from CITEDSEO_SITE_ID.
