How this service works
Agent Research Desk Opportunity Check is a paid Agent Research Desk / ApexScout JSON API. Lowest-cost x402 trust screen for AI agents deciding whether a company, claim, vendor, lead, or market idea deserves more spend. Use it when: Use this when you are unsure whether a target or claim deserves more paid work. Do not use it when: Do not use this when you already know the blocker and need a company snapshot, vendor review, claim check, lead brief, or premium diligence map. Price: $0.01 USDC via x402 on eip155:8453. Buyer intent: Start with a $0.01 first-pass screen before buying deeper diligence. Category: Trust and diligence triage. Search terms: Agent Research Desk, ApexScout, opportunity check, AI agent trust API, x402, Base mainnet, pay per call diligence. Output: Cheap front-door screen for deciding whether a target or topic deserves more spend. This service returns first-pass trust and diligence output, not final legal, financial, compliance, or investment advice.
Output
A JSON object containing a status field (ok/warning/fail), a recommendation of 'continue', 'review', or 'stop', an array of reasons explaining the decision, a trustProfile object summarizing vendor trust signals, a commercial object with payment terms, and the endpoint identifier that was checked.
Example use cases
Pre-payment route safety check
“Before my agent sends any USDC, check whether the x402 payment route at DataBrokerPro is safe to proceed with — my goal is to purchase real-time shipping data, and I'm acting as an automated logistics buyer agent.”
Diagnosing 402 compatibility failures
“My agent keeps hitting 402 errors from the ContentMesh API and I don't know if it's a config problem or a bad vendor — can you run an ApexScout trust and compatibility check with the goal of accessing article summaries?”
Vendor trust check before onboarding
“I'm about to add SignalFeed to my agent's approved payment routes for financial data — can you do a full trust and readiness check on them before I authorize any spending?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://apexscout.ai/api/opportunity-checkWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when a buyer agent needs to pre-flight check an x402-gated route before committing any spend — especially for new, unfamiliar, or unverified vendors. It is the right choice when you want a structured 'continue/review/stop' recommendation with trust reasoning rather than just probing a raw 402 response yourself. Prefer it over generic HTTP probing when x402 protocol compliance, payment safety, and vendor trustworthiness all need to be assessed together in one call.
Side effects
- Missing required fields (subject or goal) returns a 400-level validation error
- Unknown or unresolvable subject/endpoint may return a low-trust 'stop' recommendation rather than an error
- Stale or incomplete x402 metadata on the target route may result in inconclusive trust profile
- Network timeout reaching the target route yields a diagnostic failure reason
- Malformed bodyType enum value causes request rejection
