# Apollo Pain Points Feed

> Apollo Pain Points Feed is a paid API for AI agents from apolloai.team, paid per call via x402, $0.08/call, status down (last checked 2026-09-15).

Aggregates and NLP-clusters user pain points from Quora, G2, Reddit, and Upwork, returning severity-ranked clusters with micro-SaaS opportunity suggestions.

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://apolloai.team/api/pain-points
- Price: $0.08/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: down
- Last checked: 2026-09-15

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 apollo-pain-points-feed-7ff83f24
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest pain point clusters from all sources — Quora, G2, Reddit, and Upwork — and show me the top 20 results ranked by severity so I can spot micro-SaaS opportunities.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need aggregated, multi-platform pain point intelligence with NLP clustering already applied — saving you from scraping and clustering Quora, G2, Reddit, and Upwork yourself. Ideal for product ideation, market validation, or opportunity scanning workflows where you want pre-ranked, source-attributed pain point clusters with built-in SaaS monetization hints.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid source filter value returns 400 or empty results
- Limit parameter out of range may return default 50 results
- Feed not yet refreshed returns stale data with older last_scan timestamp
- Payment not included or insufficient results in 402 Payment Required
- Network timeout if multi-source aggregation is slow

## How this service works

Pain points feed — multi-source intelligence (Quora, G2, Reddit, Upwork) with NLP clustering and micro-SaaS suggestions.

## Output

A JSON object containing NLP-clustered pain point groups, each with a cluster name, severity level (e.g. HIGH), count, individual pain point texts with source and confidence score, micro-SaaS suggestions with estimated revenue potential, plus metadata including last scan timestamp and list of scanned sources.
