How this service works
Returns ranked Decodo Google web results. If primary search is quota-limited, a best-effort fallback returns marked degraded recent public-news results from GDELT (https://www.gdeltproject.org/); fallback recency is capped at 168 hours for month, year, and any. Use it as a low-cost web-search API; for fetched page text or cited synthesis, use scrape-to-json or answer-web.
Output
A ranked list of web search results, each containing a title, URL, and snippet. Results are sourced from Decodo (Google-backed) when quota is available. If the primary quota is exhausted, a degraded fallback response is returned using GDELT public news data, capped at results from the last 168 hours, and marked as degraded.
Example use cases
Real-time competitor monitoring
“Search the web for any news or announcements about Anthropic in the last 24 hours and return the top 5 results.”
Research background for a report
“Find me the top 10 web results about carbon capture technology breakthroughs in 2024 so I can use them as sources for a research report.”
Quick fact-finding for a task
“Search the web for the current CEO of Stripe and return ranked results so I can verify who it is.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://x402.agentutility.ai/searchWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need ranked web search results quickly and cheaply ($0.006/call) without needing to fetch or parse full page content. It is ideal for discovering relevant URLs and reading snippets, as a first-pass research step before deciding which pages to scrape. Prefer it over scrape-to-json or answer-web when you do not need synthesized answers or full page text — just ranked links and summaries. It is well-suited for agents that need to do many searches per session cost-effectively.
Side effects
- Primary quota exceeded — returns GDELT fallback results marked as degraded, limited to news within 168 hours
- No results found for the query — empty result list returned
- Invalid query format — may return an error or empty results
- Network timeout — transient failure, retry recommended
- Payment/x402 authorization failure — request rejected before processing
