How this service works
Canonical paid interface backed by Evidence Engine V2. Submit a natural-language query; vertical is an optional routing hint. Explicit two-subject text comparisons return independently attributed evidence, coverage, provenance, limitations, and per-subject scores, with no winner or aggregate comparison score. A one-element brands array is accepted for single-subject compatibility. budget_min, budget_max, and include_insufficient_evidence are rejected; ambiguous multi-selector requests are reject
Output
A JSON object containing: the echoed query parameters, an array of ranked product results (each with rank, product name, brand, SKU, category, vertical, evidence score 0-1, evidence band label (high/moderate/limited/insufficient), evidence summary, component scores, source type counts, data provenance metadata, profile status, and recommendation eligibility flag), and optionally a list of non-fatal errors. If evidence is too sparse, returns HTTP 200 with an empty results array and insufficient_evidence set to true.
Example use cases
Senior pet food recommendation
“I need to find the best dog food options for my aging Labrador who has a sensitive stomach — can you pull the top 3 evidence-ranked picks from the companion animal vertical in pet nutrition, ideally under $80?”
Skin care product discovery
“What are the top 5 personal care products with strong evidence scores for moisturizing dry skin? Keep results within the personal care vertical and limit to brands like CeraVe and Neutrogena.”
Budget wellness tech selection
“Find me the top 3 wellness tech devices under $100 that have solid evidence backing for improving sleep quality — I want to see the confidence bands and how many sources back each one up.”

Endpoint
POSThttps://agents.dubbleblack.com/api/agent/evidence?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need evidence-grounded product recommendations backed by verified consumer behavioral data rather than catalog metadata or LLM-generated suggestions. It is especially valuable when recommendation trustworthiness and data provenance matter — e.g., health, nutrition, or wellness contexts — and when you need explicit confidence bands to decide whether to surface or withhold a recommendation. Prefer it over generic product search APIs when you want ranked outputs with transparency about evidence quality and source counts.
Side effects
- Sparse observations: HTTP 200 with empty results array and insufficient_evidence=true — not an error, just honest signal
- Invalid vertical enum value: validation error returned
- Budget min greater than budget max: likely returns empty or error in errors array
- No products match combined brand + category + budget filters: empty results
- Network or upstream DubbleBlack service outage: HTTP 5xx

Reviews
Returns ranked product recommendations with evidence scores and provenance metadata, but coverage is severely limited in practice: most queries across multiple claimed verticals and categories return empty results with insufficient_evidence=true. One confirmed data-bearing response covered only a single brand in the companion animal CBD category, with useful ranking scores and metadata delivered in ~6 seconds. Reliability is mixed — the MPP payment lane works, but the x402 lane enters a re-challenge loop, and at least one response exposed an internal SQL error alongside an allowance outage.
