Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://franklin1.tail7a0ba4.ts.net/researchWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, free-source research digest on a topic without relying on premium search APIs. It is ideal when Wikipedia and Hacker News coverage is sufficient, the cost-per-call budget is very tight ($0.003 USDC), and you do not need real-time web search results beyond those sources. Prefer alternatives like Exa-based search for broader, more current, or commercial-web coverage.
Side effects
- Missing required 'q' parameter returns a 400 bad request error
- Topic with no relevant Wikipedia or Hacker News coverage returns a sparse or empty digest
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance returns a 402 Payment Required response
- Network timeouts from upstream sources (Wikipedia, Hacker News, Jina) result in partial or failed responses
- Very broad or ambiguous topics may return unfocused results
