# DDG Deep Research Endpoint

> DDG Deep Research Endpoint is a paid API for AI agents from agents.daedalusdevelopmentgroup.com, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-10).

Performs deep research queries and returns bounded, curated research artifacts for AI agents, payable per-call via x402 USDC.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 ddg-deep-research-endpoint-f5146fdb -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Do a deep research dive on the current state of solid-state battery commercialization — I want a thorough, synthesized summary covering key players, recent breakthroughs, and timeline estimates.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs a synthesized, curated research result rather than raw web search hits or provider account access. Ideal for tasks requiring depth and synthesis over breadth. Best used when the agent can pay per-call in USDC via x402 and needs a bounded, deliverable artifact rather than streaming data or ongoing subscriptions.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not settled — returns 402 if x402 payment is missing or insufficient
- Malformed request body — returns 400 if required fields (type, method, bodyType, body) are absent
- Provider environment not ready — some payment rails (MPP/Stripe/Tempo) are pending live activation
- Empty or ambiguous query — may return ok:true with minimal artifact if query is underspecified
- Network timeout — deep research tasks may occasionally exceed response windows

## How this service works

DDG agent-payable service request

## Output

Returns a JSON object with ok:true and a bounded research artifact containing synthesized findings, curated information, or structured research results relevant to the submitted query. The exact content shape depends on the query type but is delivered as a complete, self-contained response.
