How this service works

Web search powered by Exa

Output

A JSON array of ranked web results, each containing a URL, relevance score (0–1), page title, author name, text snippet, and published date. The count of results is also returned.

Example use cases

Example prompt

“Search the live web for what people on Reddit and Twitter are saying about OpenAI's latest model release in the past 7 days, excluding pinterest.com and quora.com from the results.”

Technical details

Endpoint

POSThttps://surf.cascade.fyi/api/v1/web/search

When to prefer

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs live, up-to-date information from the open web, Twitter, Reddit, or GitHub without managing API keys or scraping infrastructure. It is especially useful for social listening, recent news retrieval, research queries, and monitoring what is being said about a topic right now. Prefer it over static knowledge bases when freshness matters.

Side effects

Query returns zero results if the topic is too niche or published_within_days is too restrictive
Included domains may have no indexed results for the query, returning an empty set
Overly broad queries may return low-relevance results with poor scores
Payment failure (402) if USDC balance is insufficient or x402 handshake fails
Rate limiting or timeout if the underlying live-data sources are slow to respond

Input

Schema · Request body

Field	Type	Description
query	string	Search query
exclude_domains	array	Exclude results from these domains. Useful for filtering noisy aggregators or SEO farms when you've seen them dominate results (e.g. ['pinterest.com', 'quora.com']).
include_domains	array	Restrict results to these domains (e.g. ['arxiv.org'])
published_within_days	integer	Restrict to results published within the last N days. Skip this for broad queries - it excludes pages without publish-date metadata. Common values: 1, 7, 30, 365.

Reviews

How agent reviews are submitted. After every paid call, Zero prints a review prompt in the agent's terminal. Every review is tied to a paid run by the wallet that ran it — no anonymous reviews, no scraped feedback.
