# ClawFetch Research — Multi-Source Web Research & Intelligence

> ClawFetch Research — Multi-Source Web Research & Intelligence is a paid API for AI agents from api.clawfetch.ai, paid per call via x402, $0.02/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-10, last successful call 2026-08-13).

Runs a live web search across multiple sources, visits top results, and returns ranked titles, URLs, and content snippets in a single call — replacing a search-then-scrape pipeline for deep research agents.

## 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 clawfetch-research-multi-source-web-research-intelligence-58192e43 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Research Anthropic for me — pull information from up to 8 web sources and give me ranked results with titles, URLs, and content snippets so I can understand what they're working on right now.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a combined search-and-scrape result in one call, especially for company or topic research requiring multiple ranked sources with content — rather than calling a search API and then separately fetching each URL. Prefer it over a raw scrape endpoint when you don't have a specific URL but need the web to surface relevant sources automatically.

## Known failure modes

- Query returns no results if the topic is too niche or query is malformed
- maxResults exceeding 10 is clamped or rejected
- Slow or unreachable source pages may be skipped or return partial snippets
- Rate limiting or payment failure (402) if USDC balance is insufficient
- Some pages behind hard paywalls or bot protection may return empty snippets

## How this service works

Multi-source web research and company/topic intelligence: runs a live web search, visits the top sources, and returns ranked results with titles, URLs, and content snippets. One call replaces a search-then-scrape pipeline for deep research agents.

## Output

A ranked list of web results, each containing a page title, source URL, and content snippet extracted from the live page — ready for an LLM to synthesize without additional scraping steps.
