## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need fresh, real-time image results from the web for a given text query — particularly when you want current or up-to-date imagery rather than a static image database. Prefer this over static image APIs when recency matters.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or missing query string returns an error or empty result set
- Query too long or malformed may return a 400-level error
- Upstream image search provider unavailable causes failure with success: false
- Rate limiting or payment failure (x402) blocks the request
- No images found for niche or unusual queries returns empty data
