# Agent Utility Network – Vendor Intelligence

> Agent Utility Network – Vendor Intelligence is a paid API for AI agents from agent-utility-network.frosty-sound-4560.workers.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.04/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Fetches structured intelligence about a vendor/company given its name and website URL, returning canonical tokens, extracted signals (URLs, money, emails, dates), and website status.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability agent-utility-network-vendor-intelligence-ddc6b8d1 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull vendor intelligence on Acme Corp at https://acmecorp.com — I need their canonical name, any emails, money references, and key URLs extracted from their site.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, signal-rich intelligence about a specific vendor or company given its name and website — particularly when you want canonical name normalization alongside extracted emails, URLs, pricing signals, and dates in a single call. Prefer it over generic web scrapers when you need pre-parsed, categorized signals rather than raw HTML, and over business database lookups when the freshest live website data matters.

## Known failure modes

- Website unreachable or returns non-200 status — website.status will reflect the error code and signals may be empty
- Invalid or malformed URL input — API may reject with a 400-level error
- Vendor name too short or too long — validation error per schema constraints
- No signals extractable from a sparse or JavaScript-heavy page — empty signal arrays returned
- x402 payment failure — call blocked if USDC payment on Base is not processed

## How this service works

Quality-scored paid utility APIs for AI agents over x402 on Base USDC.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing: a vendor object with canonical name and tokens; a signals object with arrays of extracted URLs, money references, emails, and ISO dates found on the site; a website object with HTTP status and final resolved URL; and a provenance object recording the originally requested URL.
