## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an agent needs a fast, cited research brief on a topic without building a custom web-scraping pipeline. Ideal for due diligence, competitive intelligence, background research, or any task where structured, sourced summarization is needed on demand. Prefer over raw search APIs when a synthesized, human-readable brief with citations is the goal rather than a list of raw links.

## Known failure modes

- Topic is too vague or ambiguous — brief may be generic or miss the intended angle
- Topic yields no reliable web sources — brief may be sparse or uncited
- Payment in USDC on Base fails or is insufficient — request rejected with 402 error
- Rate limiting or timeout if web research takes too long — may return partial results
- Topic is in a language or niche with limited web coverage — reduced citation quality

## How this service works

Agent researches a topic (web) and returns a concise, structured, cited brief. ?topic=. Pay-per-call in USDC on Base.

## Output

A concise, structured research brief on the requested topic, including key findings organized into sections, supporting citations linking to web sources, and a synthesized summary — returned as structured text or JSON suitable for agent consumption.
