# AgentOracle Batch Research API

> AgentOracle Batch Research API is a paid API for AI agents from agentoracle.co, paid per call via x402, $0.1/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Executes pay-per-query batch research requests on crypto topics, returning summarized findings with FEVER-calibrated confidence scores and JWS-signed receipts via x402 payment on Base/SKALE

## Facts

- Endpoint: POST https://agentoracle.co/research/batch
- Price: $0.1/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-09-14
- Activations on Zero: 0
- Tags: x402
- Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/agentoracle-batch-research-api-57ed79ca
- Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_ftZXFrV8mEPgYW1eF2Xso

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 agentoracle-batch-research-api-57ed79ca -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Research Bitcoin right now — give me the current price, 24h change, market cap, and a confidence score on how fresh the data is, with sources cited.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs verifiable, confidence-scored research on crypto projects, tokens, or market data — especially when auditability matters (JWS-signed receipts) or when processing multiple queries in one call. Prefer over generic web search when you need structured key-fact extraction with calibrated confidence and source attribution, and when gasless payment via SKALE is desirable.

## Known failure modes

- Insufficient USDC balance or failed x402 payment — returns 402 Payment Required
- Malformed batch query array — returns 400 Bad Request
- Query topic outside supported domain (non-crypto) — low confidence or empty result
- Rate limiting on underlying data sources — degraded freshness or partial results
- SKALE/Base network congestion — payment confirmation delay

## How this service works

Pay-per-query research API for AI agents. x402 protocol on Base mainnet + SKALE (gasless). Verify before you act — JWS-signed receipts, FEVER-calibrated confidence, USDC payments.

## Output

A JSON object containing a plain-English summary of the research topic, an array of source URLs with titles, a freshness indicator (e.g. 'real-time'), an array of key facts extracted, a qualitative confidence level ('high'/'medium'/'low'), and a numeric FEVER-calibrated confidence score (0–1). Results are backed by a JWS-signed receipt for auditability.
