How this service works
$0.001 OFAC destination-wallet preflight for autonomous agents, plus machine-verifiable official-source evidence over x402 USDC on Base.
Output
Returns a JSON object with a result field (OBSERVED, NOT_OBSERVED, or INCONCLUSIVE), an array of federal award evidence records sourced from USAspending, an observed_count integer, source metadata identifying USAspending as the data origin, and a cryptographic Ed25519 signature attesting to the authenticity of the evidence under the arakel.machine-evidence.v2 schema.
Example use cases
Contractor due diligence monitoring
“Check USAspending for any federal contracts awarded to Palantir Technologies over the past 30 days and bring back signed evidence I can use to verify the result.”
Competitive intelligence on rival awards
“Has Raytheon received any new U.S. government awards since January 1st this year? I need a verifiable, signed report from an official source.”
Recurring vendor compliance watch
“Set up a watch on USAspending for any federal awards going to Booz Allen Hamilton from the start of this month until now — I need the signed machine-evidence result for our compliance records.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://proof.arakelproof.space/v1/agent/award-watch?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need cryptographically signed, machine-verifiable evidence of US federal award activity sourced directly from USAspending.gov — particularly for autonomous agent workflows, compliance auditing, or due diligence where provenance and attestation (Ed25519 signature) matter. Prefer it over generic web search or unverified databases when the result must be auditable and tamper-evident. The x402 micropayment model makes it cost-effective for repeated or automated polling.
Side effects
- Query string missing or empty — returns 400 bad request
- No matching awards found in date range — returns OBSERVED=NOT_OBSERVED result (not an error)
- Ambiguous entity name yields INCONCLUSIVE result
- Invalid datetime format for from/to parameters — returns 422 validation error
- Payment not settled via x402/USDC — returns 402 Payment Required before data is served
- USAspending upstream unavailable — may return INCONCLUSIVE or 503
