How this service works

14 paid data endpoints for autonomous agents and developers. Covers crypto intelligence (token, chain, Solana, gas), markets (FX, market pulse), location (weather), and research (news, brief). Each route aggregates multiple public sources into one stable schema with a single USDC payment over x402 on Base.

Output

A JSON object containing an array of news articles (up to 20), each with title, URL, snippet, publication date, source name, originating search engine, and rank position, plus metadata including total result count, data freshness timestamp, and source attribution.

Example use cases

Crypto market news briefing

“Fetch me the 10 most recent news articles from the last 24 hours about Ethereum layer-2 scaling — English, US sources.”

Competitor press monitoring

“Search for the latest news about OpenAI published in the last week — give me up to 15 articles in English from US sources.”

Multilingual regional news lookup

“Get me 5 recent news articles in French about the French presidential election from the past month — localize for France.”

When to prefer

Choose this endpoint when you need aggregated, multi-source news results in a single stable API call without managing multiple search engine integrations yourself. It is especially useful for autonomous agents that need current news on any topic with localization support and pay-per-use pricing — no subscriptions or API key management required beyond x402 USDC payment on Base.

Side effects

Empty or vague topic returns zero results
Invalid country/language code causes localization errors or fallback to defaults
Requesting more than 20 articles returns a validation error
SerpApi upstream outage results in degraded or empty response with degraded field populated
Payment failure over x402 results in 402 response before data is returned
