Example prompt: Can you estimate the crawl budget for a site with 300 pages, an average link depth of 3.5, and content that updates every 14 days?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick programmatic estimate of web crawl budget based on site size, link depth, and update cadence — particularly useful for SEO planning, crawler configuration, or infrastructure cost estimation. Prefer this over manual calculations when automating site audits or comparing crawl requirements across multiple sites.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required fields (pages, avg_depth, update_freq_days) may cause a 400 or unprocessed response
- Non-integer pages or update_freq_days values may be rejected
- Very large page counts or extreme depth values may yield unexpected results
- Payment failure via x402 protocol returns a 402 response before processing
- Server errors return non-success status
