## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to fetch current, real-world factual information from the web without requiring a dedicated API key or account setup. It is ideal for one-off lookups, fact-checking, current event queries, or enriching agent context with live web data, and is paid per-call via USDC on Base making it suitable for autonomous agents with no subscription overhead.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or ambiguous query returns minimal results or empty answer field
- Very recent events may return outdated or no abstracts
- Obscure queries may return no heading or abstract
- Network or upstream search provider errors may return HTTP 5xx
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns HTTP 402 with payment requirements
