Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://ask-surf-x402-production.up.railway.app/x402/tools/ask_surf_researchWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a thorough, synthesized research report on a topic that requires web access, multi-source synthesis, and extended processing time. It costs $2.00 USDC per job, making it appropriate for substantial research tasks rather than quick lookups. Use the sibling chat endpoint ($0.20) for simpler or conversational queries. Prefer this over generic web search when you need a polished, comprehensive research output rather than raw search results.
Side effects
- Payment failure — insufficient USDC balance or x402 payment protocol error
- Invalid or malformed research query — endpoint rejects the request
- Rate limiting or server overload — 503 or 429 response
- Job submission succeeds but polling endpoint returns stale or error state
- Network timeout during POST submission — job may or may not have been created
