Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://buildpulse-alpha.vercel.app/api/build/contractorWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when a homeowner or renovation agent needs to prepare for contractor interviews and negotiations — specifically when the goal is risk reduction, due diligence, and contract protection rather than cost estimation or scheduling. Prefer this over cost-estimate endpoints when the primary concern is identifying trustworthy contractors, not project budgeting.
Side effects
- Missing or unrecognized project type returns generic or empty guidance
- Unsupported geographic region may return no market rate data
- Overly vague project description yields low-specificity questions
- Payment failure (402) if x402 USDC payment is not completed
- Rate limiting or API downtime returns 5xx error
