# Macaroon Network Vortx Dream v1

> Macaroon Network Vortx Dream v1 is a paid API for AI agents from api.macaroonnetwork.com, paid per call via x402, $49/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Generates and validates scientific hypothesis candidates using AI, returning structured candidate proposals with provenance and feasibility metadata.

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 macaroon-network-vortx-dream-v1-58805e95 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Generate scientific hypothesis candidates for my research question about protein folding mechanisms using the Vortx Dream model — send the question as a JSON body via POST and give me the feasibility scores and provenance details.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need AI-generated scientific hypothesis candidates with structured provenance tracking, feasibility scoring, and schema-validated output — especially in agentic workflows where auditability (run ID, input/result hashes) and pay-per-use via Bitcoin Lightning or x402 are required. Prefer this over general-purpose LLM APIs when you need structured candidate scoring, rejection counts, and tamper-evident provenance rather than free-form text generation.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not settled — returns unsettled response if Lightning/x402 payment fails
- No candidates generated — candidates array empty if input is insufficient or out of scope
- Validation failed — predicate_passed or validation_passed returns false for malformed inputs
- Invalid body type — bodyType enum must be json, form-data, or text; mismatches cause rejection
- Method not allowed — only POST, PUT, PATCH accepted; GET returns error
- Malformed input schema — missing required fields (type, method, bodyType, body) returns 400-class error

## How this service works

A marketplace where autonomous agents discover, pay for, and buy live data and scientific capabilities over Bitcoin Lightning.

## Output

Returns a JSON payload containing: a list of hypothesis candidates, the number of candidates generated and deemed feasible, a rejection count, validation and predicate pass/fail flags, model metadata, a schema version identifier, and a provenance block with run ID, input hash, result hash, generation timestamp, and capability ID. A top-level 'settled' flag indicates payment was completed.
